Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) fresh mulberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) water
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup (150g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch (0.5g) of salt

Instructions:

  1. Place the mulberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for 12–15 minutes until the berries burst and the liquid transforms into a thick, glossy syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool completely to room temperature.
  2. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually pour in the condensed milk, cardamom, vanilla, and salt. Continue whisking on medium-high speed until the mixture is thick and velvety.
  3. Spoon a generous layer of the malai cream into the bottom of each glass. Carefully drizzle two tablespoons of the cooled mulberry reduction over the cream.
  4. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the purple syrup into the ivory cream, creating a marbled effect. Top with a final dollop of cream and a swirl of berries.
