BLACKBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Puree the blackberries in a food processor or blender. Using the back of a large spoon press the puree through a fine mesh strainer set over a medium saucepan. Discard the seeds.
• Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the blackberry puree. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat then reduce to medium-low. Gently simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened and slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool and refrigerate until needed.
• Combine the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on low until it starts to thicken. Increase the speed to medium, then high, and beat until stiff, firm (not dry) peaks form. The whipped cream should still be somewhat creamy, not clumpy.
• Gently spoon or drizzle ¾ of the blackberry puree into the whipped cream. Fold 3 or 4 turns so thick streaks of blackberry puree remain visible.
• Divide the Blackberry Fool mixture between 6 bowls or decorative glasses. Drizzle with the remaining puree, top with a few fresh blackberries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
• Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.

FROZEN BLACKBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Prepare a 1 quart souffle dish by creating a collar to go around the rim to support the souffle while it freezes; cut a sheet of waxed paper long enough to go around the dish's rim, then fold in thirds, lengthwise (about a 4 inch wide ribbon).
• It should extend about 3 inches above the rim; secure with a rubber band or tape (or you could prepare 8 ramekins with the collar 1 1/2 inches above each one).
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook the blackberries and 1/3 cup sugar until they soften and burst, about 10 minutes; puree in a food processor, then strain the seeds out (you should have about 2 cups of puree).
• Stir in the liquer and chill.
• In a small saucepan, heat remaining 2/3 cup sugar and water, over medium heat, to the soft-ball stage, 235 - 240 degrees, about 15 minutes.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring, but use a small brush, moistened with water, to wash down any crystal that may form on the sides of the pan.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, until stiff peaks form; while running pour the sugar mixture, in a slow steady stream, into the egg whites taking care not to hit the whisk attachment and splatter.
• The egg whites will swell, then subside; continue beating until the egg whites cool to room temperature, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream, until soft peaks form, using a whisk or hand mixer.
• Stir 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the blackberry puree, then pour the blackberry mixture into the remaining egg whites and gently fold until well combined.
• Gently fold the whipping cream into the egg whites, then spoon the mixture into the prepared souffle dish or the ramekins; it should come about 1/2 up the waxed paper collar.
• Smooth the top and freeze until very firm, 4 hours to overnight; if frozen overnight, it will need and hour in the refrigerator before serving.
• If freezing for more than a day, press plastic wrap onto the surface once it is frozen to store.
• To serve, remove the collar and cut into thin slices.
