Step 1

Cut the leafy tops from the strawberries, then cut them into quarters. Smaller ones can just be cut in half. You want the pieces to roughly match the size of the raspberries.

Step 2

Cut in half the largest of the blackberries, again trying to keep a roughly consistent size with the other berries.

Step 3

Add all the berries to a medium mixing bowl. Then Add the 3 tbsp of sugar and mix well.

Step 4

cover and set aside for 30 - 40 minutes

Step 5

Pour 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl along with 2 tbsp powdered sugar.

Step 6

Whisk cream vigorously till it thickens into a thick whipped cream.

Step 7

After 30 to 40 minutes a syrupy liquid will have formed in the bottom of the bowl with the berries.

Step 8

Serve in a wine glass, layering a few berries, then a little whipped cream till the glass is mostly full.

Step 9

Finish with one last dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with sliced strawberries, and fresh mint leaves.

Step 10

Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days
