Jayme's Sweet Summer Berry Dessert

“Do you ever buy too much of fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries in the summer simply because they look so rich and sweet? Me too! So I invented this concoction to avoid the tragedy of having to throw out rotten, wasted berries! Perfect for large gatherings, picnics (bring wet-naps/wipes, trust me) or appetizer-type parties! Very simple to make! Everyone loved it the first time I made it. You can also substitute blackberries, banana slices, or an appropriate fruit of your choice. Careful with the blueberries though, they may stain!”

This was super tasty but a bit messy...just as it said. I ended up putting it in a graham cracker crust and freezing it. When it was time to eat, I thawed it for a few minutes on the counter. This was actually a bit more enjoyable. Oh yeah, I used sliced strawberries for the fruit...

I agree with jensig: pretty much tastes like berries with whipped cream. My 8-year old did not care for it (which really surprised me) but I think that was because the berries we used were a little tart. This is a great way to use up berries that otherwise might go bad, but it will not be a regular on our menu. Thanks anyway.

It basically tastes like berries in whipped cream, which is good, but kind of boring. It's missing something for texture. I also wasn't wild about the amount of trans fat involved.

My kids call it "berry cloud" because it is so fluffy and light. Beautiful color from the berries. I'll be trying this with mangoes, pineapple and coconut to make a "tropical cloud".

This was great!! I served it in oversized wine glasses, with crushed gram cracker at the bottom, and a layer of thin banana slices on top of the mixture.

This was delicious and simple to make.Followed the recipe exactly. Took it to a pot luck last week and didn't bring home any. Not sure where people find 5 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk though. Had to buy the 14 oz can and measure out 5 oz. Now I have to find a use for the rest - guess I could make more of this!! MMMM

I took this recipe and used strawberries, raspberries, and kiwi. I mix up a couple batches, put it all in 2 pre-made graham cracker pie crusts and serve it chilled. This always gets rave reviews at every cookout and event I bring it to. It makes a wonderful light summer dessert!

This was great and super EASY, I tried this on a group of ladies who were coming over for a luncheon, and they raved about it and kept prying until I finally told them how to make it. I used all frozen raspberries & blueberries from our own harvest. It also looked really pretty. Thanks for the great recipe!

I served this at a family reunion last weekend and it was a big hit! Several people asked for the recipe. So easy and fast to make. I eliminated the mess factor by serving in it individual clear 8 oz. plastic cups - with the mint leaves and some berries sprinkled on top, it made a great presentation.

This was very simple and yummy. Kids loved it. It was a little sweet for my taste but that may have been because I did not have quite as many berries as suggested, but it was still good. I only had blueberries and strawberries and the strawberries were not very sweet, so the rich cream pulled it together nicely.
