Total time: P0Y0M0DT0H15M0.000S
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup pure maple syrup; 1 cinnamon stick; 1 star anise; 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves; Pinch of kosher salt; 1/4 cup heavy cream, chilled; 1/4 cup creme fraiche, chilled; 2 teaspoons spiced syrup; 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 3 cups mixed berries, rinsed and halved or quartered if large; 2 tablespoons chopped Marcona almonds, optional

Directions

Special equipment:

4 coupe glasses or dessert dishes

In a small saucepan, combine the syrup, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the spices. Cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, creme fraiche, 2 teaspoons of the spiced syrup and vanilla. Using a large whisk or handheld mixer, beat until the cream thickens and soft peaks begin to form (careful not to over whip).
Divide the berries among 4 coupe glasses or dessert dishes. Dollop with the whipped creme fraiche and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the syrup. Sprinkle with almonds, if using. Leftover syrup will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator in a sealed jar.
