Fresh blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries go
swimming in a pool of Black Raspberry liqueur. Spoon over light vanilla ice
cream, insert two lemon wafers, and cover with a dollop of light whipped cream.
Juicy, sweet, creamy, crunchy…the perfect desert, made even more perfect
because on top of all that it’s healthy and super simple!
Berry Tipsy Framboise Ala Mode
Ingredients
1 C. mixed blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries (whatever combination you prefer)
¼ C Black Raspberry Liqueur Framboise
light vanilla ice cream (I use Edy’s ½ the fat)
4 lemon wafer cookies
light whipped topping
Directions
Marinate fruit in liqueur for approximately 5 hours. You can do it for more or less time. The longer it swims the more alcohol it absorbs. Spoon over your favorite vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, add the cookies, and a spritz or 2 of whipped topping, and voila, you have a delicious, colorful, light cocktail/dessert. Great for spring and summer or after a heavy rich meal!
Use any berry you like. This is a bowlful of antioxidant power. Another variation is to add some semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate shavings ( more antioxidants)! You could also use chocolate cookies or sugar cookies if you prefer. I just like the little lemon flavor lingering on the tongue and it cuts through the sweet.
Fruit for dessert is a great way to meet your daily vitamin quota. What other ideas do you have for having a treat that won’t cost you any extra inches?
