1-First, whip the chilled heavy cream with 1 teaspoon of sugar using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. This step creates a light, airy base that pairs beautifully with the berries.

2-Next, combine the whipped cream and fresh berries in a heat-safe dish, making sure everything is evenly mixed for the best flavor.

3-Then, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the berries to prepare for the caramelized top.

4-Now, caramelize the sugar using a kitchen torch, moving it continuously back and forth to avoid burning work in small sections by sprinkling and caramelizing one area at a time for even results.

5-After that, place the dish in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to harden the sugar, giving you that perfect crisp layer.

6-Finally, serve it right away, either on its own or alongside pound cake or angel food cake for added indulgence. Remember to use fresh berries that are thoroughly clean and dry, and keep the torch moving to prevent any bitterness.
