Berry Compote | Sprinkles For Breakfast

My younger brother, Zach, isn’t much of a sweets guy. I’m sure you have met these type of people in your life. The ones who pick potato chips over a cookie or take an extra helping of dinner instead of saving room for dessert. I have never really understood this logic (I would rather skip dinner and go straight to dessert), but I have come to learn that there are people like that out there.

I have also come to learn that just because you are not a “sweets person” does not mean you don’t like sweets at all. These self-proclaimed savory food lovers have a secret. They usually have one of two sweets items that they really really love. That thing that makes them skip the extra helping of dinner so they can save room for the good stuff – the dessert.

Berry Compote | Sprinkles For Breakfast

For my brother, that is cheesecake. Since he was little, he has always preferred cheesecake to any other type of cake. He was that weird little kid who was ordering New York Cheesecake at restaurants while all the other kids were ordering ice cream and brownie sundaes. At this point, he likes to think of himself as a bit of a cheesecake snob – and he will tell you that the BEST part of a cheesecake is always the BERRY COMPOTE.

I know…it’s shocking. But he swears that a good berry compote can turn the most average cheesecake into something divine. Crazy, I know. But I’m not one to argue with someone who feels SO passionately about cheesecake. Enter…my recipe for Berry Compote.

Which, in case you were wondering, WAS approved by my brother.

Berry Compote | Sprinkles For Breakfast

It turns out berry compote is very easy to make and can be used for a lot more than just cheesecake.

For example…

Pancakes

French Toast

Waffles

Ice Cream

Oatmeal

Angel Food Cake

The list goes on and on. In this recipe, I used a mix of different berries – but you can use any combination you want. Make it an all strawberry compote or all blueberry compote. The choice is up to you. You can also use frozen fruit here instead of fresh fruit. No need to defrost either! The mixture will take a little bit longer to come to a boil, but your final product will be just as delicious!

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!
