Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup (75 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (3 g) gelatin, powdered
  • 1 ¾ (250 g) fresh blackberries

Directions

  1. Place cream and sugar into a heavy bottom sauce pan. Whisk to incorporate. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat. Whisk in powdered gelatin. 
  3. Place blackberries and cream mixture into the Vitamix Aer Disc container in the order listed and secure the lid. 
  4. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to Variable 7, blending for 45 seconds. Portion equally into eight 4-ounce ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. 

Chef's Notes

  • This recipe yields a beautifully muddled texture of blackberries and sugar. Any fresh berry can be used, but softer berries are ideal because they will mash more easily at lower speeds.
