How to Make Finnish Berry Dessert

  1. In a large heatproof bowl, gently combine 4 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup of berry juice (or water) until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the cornstarch mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a glossy consistency.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cornstarch mixture cool for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Gently pour the cooled cornstarch mixture over the berries in the bowl. Toss gently to coat all the berries evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the berry mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  7. To serve, spoon the chilled Finnish Berry Dessert into individual dessert dishes. Top with a dollop of frozen yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
