A friend of mine gave me a big tub of mascarpone cheese and with no recipes in mind to make use of it for, I googled “mascarpone” and found this caramelized banana recipe at Recipezaar.com. When the author said that her daughter licked the bowl clean, she wasn’t exaggerating! I scraped up the sweet and creamy sauce on my plate to its last sweet and creamy drop!
