Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creme fraiche (8 ounces)
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups mixed berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries
4 mint sprigs (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Place creme fraiche in a medium-size non-reactive bowl. Add sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, 1 hour or longer. (Lemon Creme Fraiche can be prepared 2 days ahead; keep covered and refrigerated.).
  • Rinse berries and gently pat dry. If using strawberries, rinse first then hull and halve (or quarter, if large) lengthwise. Place berries in a large bowl and gently toss to combine.
  • Divide berries among four wide-mouthed wine glasses, martini glasses or dessert bowls. Drizzle each serving with about 1/4 cup of Lemon Creme.
