The beauty of this dessert by Romeo Salta from The Pleasures of Italian Cooking is its simplicity. It is a no-cook & quick-fix taste sensation that is best when garnished w/fresh berries. Enjoy! (Time does not include time to chill the crema) Ingredients:
1 lb mascarpone (ricotta or cream cheese may be used) |
1/2 cup sugar |
4 egg yolks (lightly beaten) |
2 tablespoons heavy cream |
2 tablespoons cognac (or other brandy) |
Directions:
1. Blend the cheese in an electric blender till very smooth.
2. Beat in the sugar, egg yolks, cream & Cognac till the mixture is very smooth & thick. Refrigerate till well-chilled.
3. To Serve: Spoon chilled crema into 4-6 sml dessert bowls, ramekins or goblets. Fresh raspberries or strawberries were suggested as the ideal garnish, but I think a wide variety of imaginative choices would also work well.
