Jump to RecipeWhy We Like Blackberry Strawberry Delight So Much
When it’s hot outside (as it frequently is in Texas!) we like a dessert that’s light and cool. We’re also not wild about spending lots of time over a hot stove so we prefer dishes that use the microwave and that are quick and easy.
This recipe fits our warm weather cooking requirements and we like it because it’s yummy! And if you serve it in clear glass dishes, it’s pretty too!
That makes it a very nice dish to serve guests or any time you’d like to go a little above and beyond.
First, wash and prep your berries.
Mix berries together and add blackberry brandy over the top. Let these sit while you prepare rest of ingredients.
Soften your cream cheese. You can do this in the microwave or get it out ahead of time and let it soften on the kitchen counter.
Add heavy cream and sour cream and beat until smooth with electric mixer. Should be the consistency of a thick pudding.
Divide cream cheese mixture between the four dishes. Top with fruit then pour melted preserves over the top of the fruit.
