Instructions

Rinse the berries gently and dry them on a towel; wet berries bleed into frosting.
Stir the sugar and vanilla together in a small bowl until the sugar is damp and fragrant.
Pile the berries over the dessert, mixing the colors, right before serving.
Sprinkle the vanilla sugar over the berries.

Tips

Keep the berries dry and whole; the mix looks best untouched.
In winter use blueberries alone, which hold up best.
