Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the mixed berries thoroughly. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a small bowl, add the gelatin powder to 1 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 5

After the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat the bowl over a warm water bath or in the microwave (10-15 seconds at a time) until fully dissolved.

Step 6

Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the saucepan with the sweetened water. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool for another 5 minutes, but not enough to set.

Step 8

Divide the fresh berries evenly into 4 small serving glasses or dessert bowls.

Step 9

Pour the prepared gelatin mixture over the berries until they are completely covered.

Step 10

Refrigerate the glasses for at least 3-4 hours or until the gelatin is set.

Step 11

Once set, top each dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 12

Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of color and freshness.

Step 13

Serve chilled and enjoy your Floating Berries dessert!
