  1. Heat the blackberries (keeping a few aside) gently with the sugar for a couple of minutes or until they give off juice. Whizz in a food processor then push through a fine sieve. Beat the mascarpone with a spoon until it is floppy then fold in the blackberry purée and the vanilla extract. Loosely whip the cream and fold it in. Spoon into 4 dishes and decorate with blackberries.

    This is FAB - I've served it twice now to guests who have either been fussy, plain eaters or have a severe food wheat intolerance allergy. Ideal for both sets of guests who thought it was so delicious that they asked for the recipe. High on my list of dinner party favourites. Don't worry if you don't have vanilla essence. I've made it with and without and didn't miss it. Didn't even heat fruit last time, just defrosted frozen forest fruits, blitzed in blender before sieving. It really is SO EASY - go for it!

    If you want something colder for summer, I used one quarter softened and then cool blackberries and three quarters frozen blackberries. Whiz together with the cream and mascarpone for an instant ice cream.

    I had been searching for a recipe to use up blackberries I had picked with the children, and this is delicious!! Really easy to make and not too sweet.

    This is an extreemly easy and tasty dessert to make, however I have only made it once due to the staggering calorie content!

    My mum gave us a huge bag of blackberries from her garden and it's filling our freezer so I made this and the raspberry and coconut slices which were amazing. (Substituting blackberries, obviously.) My boyfriend loved the fluff. I used lower fat marscapone and elmlea double cream and having not tasted the full fat version didn't feel we were missing out but I found the texture a bit bland. Next time I'll loosely fold in broken meringue nests, ripple through some reserved blackberry sauce and freeze it in a loaf tin which I've done with raspberries and lemon curd in the past and it works really well.

    I too thought that you could not taste the blackberries - disappointing. Will not make this again.

    I replaced the cream with low fat Greek yoghurt, which made it a bit less rich-tasting and a bit more zingy. I did use more sugar, however, so no doubt they cancelled each other out as far as healthy eating goes!
