Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blackberries

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash the blackberries with a fork until they release their juices. Set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.

Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- Try using other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
