Preparation

1. Whip the cream until softly peaked. Refrigerate it.
2. Using a very sharp serrated knife, carefully trim the crust from the brioche. Slice the loaf into 8 thick slices.
3. Gently mix all the berries together in a bowl. Remove 3 cups of them and set aside, refrigerated. Place the remaining berries in a saucepan with the sugar. The recipe can be prepared in advance to this point.
4. Bring the berries just to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, until they begin to release their juices. Remove them from the heat and stir in the liqueur.
5. To serve, place a slice of brioche on each of 8 plates. Spoon the warm cooked berries on top of the brioche. Spoon the uncooked berries on top of the cooked ones, then top each serving with whipped cream. Serve at once.
