Instructions

1.
**Prepare the Fruit Compote:** Combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely.
2.
**Make the Whipped Cream:** In a chilled bowl, whisk the heavy cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
3.
**Crumble the Shortbread:** Roughly crumble the shortbread cookies into bite-sized pieces.
4.
**Assemble the Knickerbocker Glories:** In tall dessert glasses, layer the ingredients in the following order: crumbled shortbread, Jersey Milk ice cream, fruit compote, Jersey Black Butter caramel. Repeat the layers, ending with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
5.
**Garnish:** Sprinkle toasted flaked almonds (if using) over the whipped cream and top with a glacé cherry on each glass. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Chill the dessert glasses before assembling for a more refreshing dessert.

Prepare the fruit compote and whipped cream ahead of time to make assembly quicker.

Adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream and fruit compote to your personal preference.

For a boozy twist, add a splash of brandy or rum to the fruit compote.
