This enchanting Nordic dessert combines the flavors of fresh berries with a flaky, almond-infused biscuit and a creamy topping. It's perfect for those seeking a luxurious, vegetarian dessert experience.
In a large bowl, gently toss the raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, almond flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and the heavy cream with vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Use a knife or cookie cutter to create 6 small, round biscuits. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit for expansion. Bake for 15 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow the biscuits to cool completely.
