This incredibly simple yet impressive recipe is as delicious as it is gorgeous. The blackberries in the cake and the fruity flavors of Redd’s® Blueberry Ale play off each other for a sweet, refreshing way to end any meal.

Topics:
Dessert, Fruit, American, Summer

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces blackberries, frozen (thawed) or fresh

¾ cup sugar

3 tablespoons water

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2⅔ cups heavy cream

5 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons grated lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

6 graham crackers

PREPARATION

STEP 1

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring blackberries, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently for 8 minutes. Once you remove from heat, the mixture will begin to thicken and resemble a loose jam.

 

STEP 2

In a large bowl with an electric or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat cream cheese until creamy. Add cream, honey, lemon zest and juice. Beat until cream has thickened and soft peaks form.

 

STEP 3

Line a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on all sides. Fill the bottom evenly with a layer of whipping cream (about ¾ cup). Place graham crackers in a single layer, breaking to fit when necessary, on top of the cream layer, and then top with another layer of cream. Top cream with 3 tablespoons of blackberry mixture and spread gently to cover. Cover blackberries with a layer of cream mixture and top with a layer of graham crackers. Repeat layers until the pan is full, ending with graham crackers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

 

STEP 4

When ready to serve, remove the cover and invert a serving plate over the top of the pan. Holding both the plate and pan, flip so the cake is on top. Carefully remove the loaf pan and discard the plastic wrap. Slice and serve.

 

Note: To make this easier, 1½ cups of blackberry preserves or jam thinned out with 3 tablespoons of water can be substituted for the blackberry compote.
