After a nice dinner in an Italian restaurant, my mom, daughter & I shared a fabulous dessert - the sweet cream was rich and berries were layered inside. I went on a mission to re-create the dessert and came up with this recipe. The cream is soft - not stiff or firm, like whipped cream. You can use your favorite fresh fruit or coulis. Layer it in a clear glass goblet or parfait dish; about 2 cups of berries or fruit coulis will be right. Ingredients:
8 ounces mascarpone, chilled |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone, heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until smoothly blended. 2. Using half of the mascarpone cream, divide it evenly among 4 dishes or goblets. Place a layer of your favorite berries or coulis over, and spoon the remaining mascarpone over. Top with a few more berries or coulis. 3. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or as long as overnight. Serve cold. |
