Method
Biscuit Dough Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
Bake Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Blackberry Compote Preparation
Cook Blackberries
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally and cook until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
Cool Compote
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly before using.
Whipped Cream Cheese Topping Preparation
Beat Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
Add Heavy Cream
Gradually add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until soft peaks form.
Assembly
Assemble the Dish
Slice the baked biscuits in half. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream cheese on the bottom half, top with blackberry compote, and then place the top half of the biscuit back on.
Garnish
Top with additional fresh berries (sliced strawberries and blueberries) and serve immediately.
