Berries and Cream is the ultimate refreshing summer dessert made with fresh berries, and balanced with a citrus zing, and creamy goodness.

This is a classic treat that’s perfect for Dessert or a sweet snack. For a similar berry dessert, try making a Mixed Berry Trifle.

Sabrina’s Berries and Cream Recipe

Berries and Cream is a simple concept that’s exactly what it sounds like. By combining zesty, flavorful ingredients with the fresh fruit makes a tasty macerated berry topping that goes wonderfully with the creamy base. Heads up, there is orange liqueur in this recipe that adds a boozy kick to this dessert. However, this recipe can be made without it, and will still deliver a light and delicious delight.
