Blackberry Topped Banana-Chocolate Dessert Shell

Plump, juicy blackberries, and whipped cream atop a banana chocolate chip dessert shell. This quick and easy spring/summer dessert uses seasonal berries and takes 30 minutes to make.

    

Yesterday morning, I came across 12-ounce cartons of blackberries for $2. That is incredibly cheap for where I am. They were dark, big, and juicy, so I picked up a couple of cartons. It occurred to me that the berries would be perfect for use on dessert shells. And what would be better than to top them on my Banana-Chocolate Dessert Shells? Nothing, right?

Mother’s Day is sneaking up fast. This easy, simple, and quick dessert would be an ideal special treat for Mom or mother figures in your life. They are going to love these! You don’t even have to let them know that it took you under 30 minutes to make. If you are stuck doing the cooking on Mother’s Day, this quick recipe is a lifesaver that can be made a day ahead and assembled the day of.

And please don’t limit yourself to whipping this up just on Mother’s Day. I’m going to take advantage of all the fresh fruits of the upcoming summer season—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries—I can’t wait!!
