Enjoy a decadent and boozy treat with this recipe for drunken berries. Fresh berries are soaked in a mixture of wine and sugar, resulting in a flavorful and intoxicating dessert. Serve with homemade whipped cream for a delightful finish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the berries, red wine, and sugar. Stir gently to coat the berries in the mixture.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. To serve, divide the drunken berries into individual serving dishes and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
  5. Garnish with mint leaves or additional berries, if desired. Enjoy!
