  • Yield

    Makes 6 dessert servings

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped pesticide-free rose-scented geranium (pelargonium) leaves
1/4 cup sugar
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups blackberries (13 oz)
1 1/2 cups blueberries (8 oz)

    Pour cream through a sieve set into a bowl and discard solids.

    Step 3

    Beat together cream cheese and cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until thickened (cream should not hold peaks), about 2 minutes.

    Step 4

    Divide blackberries and blueberries among 6 bowls or parfait glasses and top with cream.
