Blackberries reminded me of a dessert Pioneer Woman rhapsodized over.
Blackberries with Sweet Cream / pioneerwoman.com
REE: "Based on scrumptious recipe from Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Denver. It’s a berry/sweet cream dish; probably the most delicious fruit dessert ever eaten. Later, I called Ruth’s Chris in Denver, to ask the chef how they made it. Turns out it's a cross between Creme Brulee and Zabaglione; not pudding-thick but a pourable, thick liquid. Utterly delicious; can do-ahead; chill til needed."
METHOD Bring to strong simmer pint h/cream, 1/2 c sugar; don't boil. Elec/mixer/whisk in bowl a min on med 10 egg yolks, 1/2 c sugar. Add 2 tea vanilla. Now, on med-low, very slowly drizzle in warm sugar/cream. I use a metal measure to scoop out small portions; continue mixing as you drizzle; let hot mixture run down side of bowl to reduce impact on eggs.
When done, cook in bain over water on med flame. Stir gently but constantly as mixture slowly thickens; if it over-thickens, remove to counter immediately. You want a thick, pourable cream not a thick, heavy pudding.
Set hot pan bottom in ice to stop cooking (careful not to let ice or water drip into pan.) To use right away: keep it in ice bath; stir/cool. Or refrigerate in container several hours.
SERVE Spoon generously over fresh blackberries.
