1. Put the berries and granulated sugar into the blending cup. Select High and blend, using a gentle up-and-down motion, until mixture is almost fully puréed, about 20 seconds. Reserve.

2. Put the remaining ingredients into a medium to large mixing bowl. Insert the whisk attachment. Select Low and whisk until medium peaks form, gradually increasing to Medium, about 1 minute. Fold in berry mixture.
