  • End with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
  • Carefully place the blackberries on top of the whipped cream.
  • Cover the baking dish and place in the refrigerator. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but is best eaten within 1-2 days.

Notes

Add more honey to the whipped cream if it is too tart.
Can replace blackberries with berry of choice.
