Luscious Lemon Berry Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
- 1/3 cup berry jam (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Base
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely, approximately 5 minutes.

2. Incorporate Lemon Elements
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, ensuring an even mix. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

3. Create the Berry Layer
In a separate small saucepan, combine the mixed berries and berry jam. Place over low heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the jam has melted and coats the berries. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. Layer and Chill
In individual dessert glasses or bowls, begin layering the lemon cream mixture and berry mixture. Start with a layer of the lemon cream, then add a layer of the berry mixture. Repeat and finish with a lemon cream layer.

5. Chill and Set
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 2 hours, allowing the cream to set properly and flavors to meld together.

6. Serve with Whipped Cream
Before serving, top each dessert with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with additional lemon zest or a berry for an extra touch of presentation.
