Berries Cream From Chef Recipes

BERRIES & CREAM FROM "CHEF"

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the berries and sprinkle half a cup of sugar. Add in the Grand Marnier and mix to combine. Let sit in fridge for an hour. In the meantime make the caramel and the whipped cream.
• Line a baking sheet with a silpat. In a small sauce pan melt the sugar over a medium flame. Swirl the pan occasionally (do not stir) until all the sugar has dissolved and turned into a medium dark caramel color. Be careful not to burn it!
• Pour the caramel onto the silpat lined baking sheet in a thin even layer. Let cool completely.
• Break up the caramel with a wooden spoon. Take the broken shards and pulse them in a food processor until finely ground. Run through a mesh sieve to make a dust. Reserve a few shards if you would like to use them as a garnish. (If you don't have a food processor just put the shards in a cloth kitchen towel and lightly hammer with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin)
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla. Whip until medium peaks form.
• Add the mint to the berries and mix to combine. Scoop the berries into serving bowls.
• Top with a large spoonful of whipped cream and dust with the caramel. Garnish with some of the cracked caramel sugar if you'd like. Enjoy!
