Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool slightly for 2 minutes. If you prefer a smooth sauce, mash the berries with a fork.
Step 3
Place the 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream in a serving bowl. Spoon the warm berry sauce over the top.
Step 4
Garnish with the 4 fresh mint leaves and dust with the 1 tsp powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
Step 5
Optional: add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for extra depth.
