About

THE RECIPE Blackberries and mint may not sound like ingredients that play well together, but a little cream mellows the strong flavors and makes this pair one of my favorite combinations. In this dessert, they top a standard biscuit for an inspired riff on berries and shortcake. The mint-infused whipped cream alone makes this recipe worth trying.
