Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup crème de cassis (black-currant liqueur)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
4 cups mixed berries (1 1/4 pounds), halved or quartered if large
3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint raspberry sorbet

Steps:

  • Bring crème de cassis and 1/4 cup sugar to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved (if alcohol flames, momentarily cover with lid to extinguish). Stir in lemon juice.
  • Pour syrup over berries, stirring gently to coat. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Beat cream with remaining tablespoon sugar using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
  • Divide ice cream and sorbet among glasses. Top with berries and syrup, then with whipped cream.
