Hello 85 degrees tomorrow! It’s been too long. Like, 9 months too long. That’s…a baby’s worth. Sooooo, we should toast with bourbon blackberries & cardamom whipped cream! Yay!

It blows my mind how heavy cream goes from humble milk carton to luscious, fluffy, scrumptious dairy joy in a matter of minutes. Let’s spread the whipped cream love. (Ok, don’t be dirty…) Well maybe a little dirty with some bourbon.

This recipe is beyond easy, and a guaranteed crowd pleaser. It just can’t be served at a child’s birthday party…for obvious reasons, right? Oh hey, we came full circle with the baby thing.

Bourbon Blackberries & Cardamom Whipped Cream

Blackberries:

6 oz. blackberries

2 cups orange juice

¼ cup bourbon

2 cups heavy cream

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon cardamom
