Ingredients

• 2 cups blackberries
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 6 pieces shortbread cookies
• 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the blackberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Gently mix to evenly coat the berries and set aside for 5 minutes to macerate.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Step 4

Using your hands or a rolling pin, crumble the shortbread cookies into coarse crumbs. Ensure a mix of larger chunks and finer crumbs for texture.

Step 5

Assemble the Weekdaes: In serving glasses or bowls, layer a spoonful of blackberry mixture, followed by whipped cream, and then a sprinkle of shortbread crumbs. Repeat until the glasses are filled, finishing with whipped cream on top.

Step 6

Add a few extra blackberries and a light sprinkle of cookie crumbs on the top layer. Optionally, garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, fruity Blackberry Weekdaes!
