2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream or purchased vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
4 cups fresh blackberries, or thawed unsweetened frozen berries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon crème de cassis liqueur
1 cup Sweetened Whipped Cream
sprig fresh mint

Steps:

1. Prepare ice cream, if using homemade. Put the berries in a large bowl. Add the sugar and cassis. Toss to mix, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. 2. Prepare whipped cream. Then, shortly before serving, put 1/4 cup sweetened berries in the bottom of each of 4 parfait or wineglasses. Spoon 1/2 cup ice cream on the berries. Add another 1/4 cup of berries and top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve at once. NOTE: Berry juice will seep into the ice cream, but it still looks and tastes great.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
