- 1½ cups (205 g) blueberries
- 1 cup (180 g) blackberries
- 1½ cups (240 g) strawberries, halved if large
- 2 Tbsp (23 g) maple sugar crystals
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) water
- 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch
- 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup (125 g) 00 flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Directions
-
Step 1
Make the pomegranate reduction: Put the pomegranate juice, maple syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is reduced by about one third, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. -
Step 2
Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C -
Step 3
Put the blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries in a medium-size pot over low heat. Add the maple crystals, lemon juice, water, cornstarch, and cinnamon and cook until the mixture is incorporated and jammy (but don’t overcook), 7 to 10 minutes. -
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and almond milk with your hands or a spatula to form a dough; it should feel like a smooth batter/dough. Set aside, covered. -
Step 5
Fill small oven-proof ramekins with the berry mixture. Break off a piece of dough and stretch it over the berry mixture just so it barely reaches the edges of the ramekin; repeat for all of the ramekins. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake until the tops are golden brown and the fruit bubbles up around the edges of the dough, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with a scoop of vegan ice cream and a drizzle of the pomegranate reduction. Serve immediately.
