Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granola or crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash with a fork until the juices start to release, but some berries remain whole. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
