Vanilla Cream with Fresh Berries

You cannot get an easier or more delicious dessert than Vanilla Cream with Fresh Berries.  This is a perfect make ahead and take dessert.  I like to divide the Vanilla Cream into canning jars, cover and refrigerate.  Then when you are ready to serve, simply take off the jar lids, top with fruit and you are ready to serve.  Perfect during these hot summer months with berries in abundance.
