Ingredients

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 cup fresh blackberries, halved

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

0.25 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup chilled heavy cream

0.25 cup creme fraiche

1 tablespoon white sugar

0.25 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup crushed shortbread cookies

Directions

In a bowl, combine raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is mixed with berries and juices begin to form. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

In a cold bowl, mix heavy cream, crème fraîche, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until soft peaks and sharp lines appear, which may take 5 to 8 minutes.

For assembly, place some cookie crumbs at the bottom of each serving dish. Top with a spoonful of macerated berries followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers until dishes are filled, ending with a sprinkle of cookie crumbs.
