Ingredients
- 500 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 100 grams Sugar
- 700 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Potato starch or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, 500 ml of water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Once the berries have softened (about 5-7 minutes), use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the potato starch or cornstarch with the remaining 200 ml of cold water, stirring to dissolve and create a slurry.
Step 5
Return the fruit puree to the saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the starch slurry, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 6
Cook the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice for added flavor, if desired.
Step 8
Allow the Kisel to cool slightly before serving. For a chilled dessert, transfer it to serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 9
Serve the Kisel on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of heavy cream, or fresh fruit as a garnish.
