Description
A bright, slightly sweet bowl of berries folded with silky mascarpone cream makes for a simple yet special dessert, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced (about 6–8 medium)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh preferred)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir to coat.
- Let the berries sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to macerate.
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Mix slowly to avoid splatter, then whip until smooth.
- Taste the cream and adjust sweetness if needed.
- To assemble, layer macerated berries and mascarpone cream in dessert glasses or bowls.
- Garnish with whole berries, lemon zest, or nuts. Serve chilled.
Notes
For a lighter cream, use 3/4 cup mascarpone + 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. For dairy-free, swap mascarpone and heavy cream for plant-based alternatives.
