By rejadez

Ingredients

• 4 cups blueberries
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 qt vanilla ice cream
• 1 (10-oz) pkg frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
• 2 cups sweetened whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, defrosted
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place 3 cups blueberries, the sugar and lemon juice in medium saucepan; mash berries well with a potato masher. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer; cook 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a blender and purée. Pour into a 2-cup measure, cover and chill 2 hours. Place a 11⁄2-qt freezer container in freezer to chill.

2. Let vanilla ice cream stand at room temperature until softened. Fold chilled blueberry purée into ice cream until well blended. Scrape ice cream into chilled container in freezer; freeze several hours or until firm enough to scoop.

3. Purée thawed raspberries and syrup in blender until smooth; scrape mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds.

4. To make parfaits: For each parfait, spoon 1 Tbsp raspberry purée into a dessert glass and top with a small scoop blueberry ice cream. Top with 1 Tbsp whipped cream, and a few blueberries and raspberries. Repeat the layers. Top parfaits with a dollop of whipped cream.
