Mixed Berries with Mascarpone Cream
A very special treat
That need not the kitchen heat
Made with berries and cream
So simple, whip it in a whim
And watch everyone beam
Yes, good photo it lacks
And the poetry sucks
But oh my! this dessert rocks!
Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
2 cups mixed fresh berries (blueberries, red and golden raspberries, blackberries)
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup superfine sugar
1/4 tsp lemon or orange extract
juice from one orange
4 tbps honey
Procedure
Chill whipping cream and mascarpone for around 30 minutes. In chilled bowls and using chilled beaters, beat whipping cream, mascarpone, sugar and extract until soft peaks form.
Wash berries well. Squeeze juice of orange and drizzle honey over fruits. Toss lightly to coat. Arrange fruits in serving bowls and spoon mascarpone cream on top. Garnish with frosted berries. Note: Mascarpone cream can be prepared and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. However, assemble dessert minutes before serving.
Frosted Berries
assorted berries, washed and pat dry
1 egg white, lightly beaten
sugar
Brush berries lightly with egg white. Roll gently on sugar. Arrange in single layer on a parchment-lined sheet and allow to dry for around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

This looks so delicious. Wish the variety of mixed berries were available here.
I guess were lucky in California…buying fresh berries is just a matter of going to the nearby supermarket. But actually, I bought these berries at a farmer’s market close to work. Pretty cheap at 4 baskets for 14 dollars.
Looks delicious! Thanks for stopping by Recipes From the Cookie Jar.
The omlette you commented about? It may have looked good but you didn’t see the second omlette, which fell completely apart (LOL!)
I’ll have to try this recipe in August when we have lots of variety of berries around.
