Instructions

Prepare the Berries:
Begin by spreading the frozen raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries evenly across a tray. Once arranged, cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil to prevent freezer burn and place the tray in the freezer for a while to ensure they remain frozen until ready to serve. -
-
Make the Vanilla Cream:
In a medium-sized pot, pour in the cream and add the vanilla pods. Gently heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it approaches a gentle boil. This step infuses the cream with the aromatic flavor of vanilla, enhancing the richness of your sauce. -
Melt the White Chocolate:
While the cream is heating, chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Once the cream reaches a nearly boiling point, carefully strain it over the chopped chocolate. This process helps to remove the vanilla pods while pouring the warm cream directly over the chocolate, ensuring a smooth melting process. -
Combine and Whisk:
Using a whisk, stir the warm cream and chocolate together until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy. This silky sauce will serve as the perfect companion to your berries. -
Assemble the Dessert:
On four individual dessert plates, artfully arrange a portion of the frozen berries, allowing their vibrant colors to shine through. Drizzle the luscious white chocolate sauce generously over the top, ensuring each berry is lovingly coated. -
Serve Immediately:
To savor the dessert at its best, serve the assembled plates right away. Enjoy the delightful contrast between the frozen berries and the warm, creamy white chocolate sauce, creating a perfect symphony of flavors and textures that is sure to impress your guests or satisfy your sweet tooth.
This easy yet impressive dessert is a wonderful way to showcase seasonal fruits, and the white chocolate sauce elevates it to a gourmet experience, making it a staple in your collection of frozen desserts. Enjoy every bite!
