Mmm, raspberries. We had about six on our raspberry bush this year (which was six more than last year, so we were excited!). Since we ate them all immediately, we needed to find another source for summer berries. Luckily our local food stand was stocked.

What to do with the berries? Since I’m always in the market for a quick and easy dessert, I decided to go with whipped cream – the hand-whipped style. We’ve had some trouble in the past whipping cream with electric implements (ending up with textures from cream soup to butter), but we were surprised to find that hand-whipping was a breeze!  It made a beautiful thick cream that held its shape, even until the next day.

The combination of the cream and berries was delicious…the perfect way to enjoy the flavor of local berries!
