Nothing says Summer like fresh mixed berries & cream. I love this recipe that I adapted from one I found on Pinterest and made it my own. I hope you enjoy as much as I have. This recipe is made for my Keto diet with Swerve. The sweetener could be exchanged for honey, powdered sugar, or any sweetener of your choice. ~ Happy Summer ~ ~ Mixed Berries & Cream ~
Ingredients 2 lbs. fresh strawberries 12 ounces fresh blackberries 6 ounces fresh raspberries 16 ounces fresh blueberries 8 ounce block cream cheese - room temperature 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup swerve confectioner sweetener 1 Tbs. vanilla extract Directions Rinse berries in colander. Lay out the berries on a clean kitchen towel to soak up any extra moisture. I leave the berries whole except for the stawberries which I cut into manageable size pieces. Add all the berries into a large serving bowl. In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, cream the softened cream cheese with the confectioner Swerve. Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract and whip for one to two minutes, or until the mixture is fluffy. Fold the cream mixture into the mixed berries. For best results, refrigerate for two hours before serving. *This will last up to four days in the refrigerator, although mine never makes it that long. It will begin to break down a little each day, so I recommend eating before the four day limit. Enjoy!
