4. Mulberry Ice Cream
Easy Mulberry Ice Cream is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT5M · Cook: PT15M · Total: PT300M · Yield: [‘8’]
Just 6 ingredients and about 20 minutes of your time to make this homemade mulberry ice cream! The delicious fresh mulberry flavor is amazing! This ice cream can be made with fresh or frozen mulberries. Make sure to read the notes below for helpful recipe tips.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh mulberries
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice ((optional, but recommended to cut the sweetness!))
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ((optional, but highly recommended!))
Instructions Before getting started:
- Freeze the ice cream maker bowl for at least 24 hours.
Make the thick mulberry syrup:
- Combine the fresh mulberries, sugar, salt, and lemon juice in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mulberries release juices. Cool the pot in the ice bath for a few minutes so it is not crazy hot.
- Pulse the mulberries with an immersion blender (careful not to splash!), or transfer carefully to a blender or food processor and pulse a few times. You do NOT want to liquify all the mulberries, but simply to break them down more.
- Put the pot back on the stove and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over. When the mulberry syrup starts to stick to the sides of the pot a little, it is ready. Put the pot back into the ice bath to cool down.
- Pour the mulberry syrup through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon or spatula to push the syrup through into a large bowl. You should have almost ¾ cup syrup and ½ cup of mulberry pulp left over. If you have a lot less, try to squeeze more syrup out. If you have a lot more, you might need to cook the syrup down a little more so it thickens. By the way, the mulberry pulp is great for spreading on toast or stirring into yogurt so don’t throw it out!
Make the ice cream:
- Add the rest of the ice cream ingredients (heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract) to the bowl with the syrup and mix together really well—some of the syrup will sink to the bottom.
- Follow the ice cream maker instructions to make the ice cream, but here’s what I do: Carefully pour the mixture into a frozen ice cream maker bowl as it is churning. Allow to churn for at least 20 minutes. Optional: stir in up to ¼ cup fresh mulberries during the last few seconds.
- Carefully pour the chilled ice cream into a freezer-safe container (I love a bread loaf pan for this!). Cover with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until frozen.
5. Mulberry Puff Pastry Danishes
Mulberry Puff Pastry Danishes is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT15M · Cook: PT20M · Total: PT35M · Yield: [’18’]
These Mulberry Puff Pastry Danishes are the perfect fun-size dessert made with an easy cheesecake filling and fresh mulberries. The pink glaze is naturally colored with a few drops of mulberry juice.
Ingredients
- non-stick baking spray
- 8 oz cream cheese (, softened)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg (, separated into yolk and egg white)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice ((from 1 lime), divided)
- 1 pinch vanilla bean powder ((or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract))
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1-2 tablespoons white flour
- 1 lb puff pastry ((2 sheets), thawed but cold)
- 1 cup fresh mulberries (, divided)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a large baking sheet (or 2 smaller baking sheets) with non-stick spray.
- Using a stand-up mixer, whisk together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk (reserve the egg white for step 3!), 1 teaspoon lime juice, and a pinch of vanilla bean powder until smooth and creamy.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg white and 1 teaspoon water, and mix.
- Dust your working surface with a bit of flour. Carefully unfold one sheet of puff pastry over the flour. (Place the other sheet in the fridge while working, to keep it cold) Cut the puff pastry into 9 pieces. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of each puff pastry square and flatten the cream cheese with the back of the spoon.
- Fold in the corners of each puff pastry to make an octagon. Place 5-6 mulberries in the center of each danish (make sure you save 4-5 berries for step 7 to make the pink glaze!). Brush the exposed puff pastry dough with the egg white wash.
- Carefully transfer each danish onto the baking sheet, and bake for 17-21 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set.
- White the puff pastries are baking: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lime juice (almost 2 tablespoons) and 3/4 cup powdered sugar until a smooth glaze forms. Split the glaze into 2 bowls (optional, see notes). Use your fingers to squeeze 3-4 mulberries into one of the bowls and mix well (or squeeze the berries between two spoons to keep your hands cleaner). Drizzle the mulberry danishes with both the pink glaze and the white glaze.
6. Mulberry Cookies
Mulberry Cookies is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT15M · Cook: PT15M · Total: PT1H · Yield: 30
Delicious, sweet, and very easy to make mulberry cookies. It’s how I make thumbprint cookies filled with delicious mulberry jam. They are a great treat and a great way to celebrate the mulberry season.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 sticks salted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- Mulberries
- Sugar
- Lemon juice
- A few lemon seeds
Instructions
- Step one – Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Then, cut the butter into small pieces and add to a small bowl. Place in the microwave for a minute or so to melt (or add to a saucepan and melt on the stovetop). Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix it all together until smooth. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
- Step two – Make sure to check my full tutorial on how to make mulberry jam. If you feel like making a large batch and canning some jam, all the instructions are there. If you are only going to prep a small number of mulberries for these cookies, you can follow the same process but let me give you a quick overview… – Wash, drain, and weigh your mulberries. Add them to the bowl of a food processor and process for a minute. Add to a pot.- Add half of the weight of the mulberries in sugar (so you keep a one part fruit to one half part sugar ratio).- Place the pot on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring the mulberries and sugar to a boil. Let boil for five minutes.- Lower the heat to medium-low and keep cooking until the juice reduces by about half.- Add the juice of a one-half lemon and a few (4-5) lemon seeds. Keep cooking until the jam is thick.
- Step three – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grab a tablespoon or so of dough and shape it into a ball. Then, place it on the baking sheet and stick your thumb in the center of the ball to create a nest. Make sure to space the cookies so they don’t touch each other.
- Step four – Add about a teaspoon of mulberry jam to the center of each cookie. Make sure not to add too much jam so it doesn’t spill out while the cookies are baking.
- Step five – Bake in 350 degrees F preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden. Take the sheet out of the oven and let the cookies rest for a couple of minutes. Then you can transfer them onto a cookie rack to cool all the way.
7. Mulberry Sorbet
Mulberry or Blackberry Sorbet is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Recipe details: Prep: PT75M · Cook: PT5M · Total: PT80M · Yield: [‘8’, ‘8 servings’]
This recipe makes a smooth, deep purple sorbet sexed up a bit by the addition of a little liqueur. I make this sorbet with wild mulberries from a tree near my house, but blackberries would be just as good, as would black raspberries. As for the liqueur, try to find cassis, which is made from black currants. Most liquor stores carry it. I happen to have homemade elderberry liqueur around in the house, however, so I used that instead. You also could use Port wine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 5 cups mulberries or blackberries
- 2 tablespoons cassis (or Port)
Instructions
- If you are using mulberries, pick off all the green stems from the berries.
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, Put the berries in a blender. Pour the syrup over them while it is warm but not hot. Buzz into a puree.
- Push the berries through a fine-meshed sieve set over a bowl using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon; this removes a lot of the seeds and stems.
- Pour the liquor into the bowl with the pureed berries and chill in the fridge for an hour or so.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and follow its directions.

Add approximately 5 tablespoons of mulberry preserves to the surface of the cheesecake. Swirl the preserves into the cheesecake using a chopstick or butter knife.
- Bake the cheesecake in the center rack for approximately one hour, or until the center is almost set but slightly jiggly. If the cheesecake begins to brown on top too quickly, gently tent it with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar. Let the cheesecake cool down in the oven for an hour. Cool cheesecake on the counter for another hour, then chill in the refrigerator for 4 or more hours.
- Pour the remaining mulberry preserves over the cooled cheesecake and spread evenly to cover the entire surface. Cover with the plastic lid and crimp the edges to keep the lid on.

- Bring water to boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
- Add rice and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Drain rice thoroughly and rinse saucepan.
- In the same saucepan, bring coconut milk, coconut water, sugar, vanilla bean scrapings and pod, vanilla extract, and salt to boil over medium heat.
- Stir in the drained rice and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Cover the saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Crack lid halfway through the cooking time to let some moisture out and be careful not to burn the rice on the bottom of pan.
- Transfer the rice to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mint mulberry compote. In a medium saucepan, cook the mulberries, sugar, mint, and tapioca starch over medium heat until the juices begin to release and it thickens, about 10 minutes. Use a fork or a potato masher halfway through to break down the berries a bit. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Just before serving, Beat the chilled coconut cream on high speed until it thickens, slowly adding the powdered sugar as you go. Fold the whipped coconut cream into the chilled rice pudding.
- Serve topped with mint mulberry compote.

23. Vanilla Bean Mulberry Cake
Vanilla Bean Mulberry Cake is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 4 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla sugar* or white sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean (scraped**)
- 1/2 cup fresh (ripe mulberries)
- 3 cups mulberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 oz package cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter two 9″ round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment circles and butter the parchment. Set aside.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk together buttermilk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and the vanilla bean seeds in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and vanilla sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add 1/3 of the dry ingredients, then 1/3 of the wet ingredients. Continue alternating until homogenous. Beat 2 minutes more on medium speed to aerate the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Place mulberries on top of batter in each pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, cake edges will begin to brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Cool in pan on wire rack for about 15 minutes. Remove from pans, peel off parchment, and let cool completely.
Syrup
- Mash the berries with a potato masher. Push the berries through a strainer by pressing with the back of a spoon. You should end up with approximately one cup of juice (and any pulp that makes it through). Put the juice and pulp into a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and vanilla and cook on medium high, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Turn heat down to medium low and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. You should end up with approximately 1/3 cup of thickened syrup.
Frosting
- In mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Thoroughly clean mixer bowl and fill with ice water to chill the bowl. Let sit with ice water for a few minutes to get cold. Fit mixer with the whisk attachment. Drain out the ice water and wipe dry. In the chilled mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream on medium-high until stiff peaks are formed. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture. When most of the cream cheese and whipped cream are incorporated, whisk the ingredients together to make smooth.
Assembly
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the syrup and set aside. Spoon about half of the remaining syrup onto the first cake layer, spreading to within an inch of the edge. Add one cup of the frosting to the top of the syrup. With a light hand, using an icing spatula, carefully cover the jam with the frosting.
- Place the second cake layer on top of the first and carefully press down and twist a little to set. Repeat the same process with the syrup and frosting as with the first layer. Use remaining frosting on sides and add more to the top as well.
- Drizzle the reserved syrup on top of the cake, then swirl an icing spatula through the syrup to add the marble effect to the top of the cake. Garnish with a few fresh mulberries. Refrigerate cake for 2 hours before serving. Cake should be refrigerated when not being served.
