Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 8 ounces Vanilla ice cream
Directions
Step 1
Wash and gently pat dry the mixed berries. If using large strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters.
Step 2
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the skillet, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to slightly bubble, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Carefully add the mixed berries to the skillet and stir gently to coat them in the buttery sugar mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the berries are warm and begin to release their juices. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the berries for added warmth and flavor. Stir gently to incorporate.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the warm berries into two serving bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl of warm berries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 4 ounces per serving).
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of warm, juicy berries with cool, creamy ice cream.
