All the components for this showstopping dessert can easily be made in advance. They are each delicious on their own, but when combined, the flavors blend to create something really amazing. I added the lemon zest to the vanilla ice cream to bring it up a notch. You can choose to skip this step, but I recommend it.

Berry Compote

  • 2 pints (2 550-milliliter boxes) fresh blueberries, or 2 pounds (1 kilogram) frozen
