Books & Spoons Recipe: MASCARPONE CREAM, DESSERT LIKE A DREAM

Yesterday I posted the Apple Crumble recipe, that was served with Mascarpone cream, and I promised you a dessert idea for any extra cream. Then again, this might be something, that you want to do anyway, extra or not. It is so good, it looks pretty, and is a crowd pleaser, for sure.

During the holidays, there are often lot of things going on, people pop in for a visit, and you might want to prepare something ahead, and to be ready to serve something nice at the short notice.
Or you just want to be one step ahead, and make one dessert ready, so one thing to think about, is off your list.
This really is so easy and simple to make. Just gently fold together about equal amounts of Mascarpone cheese and whipped, sweetened cream. I use powdered sugar to sweeten the cream before whipping it. Maybe dash of vanilla in the mix, as well. A ready made imitation cream from a container is not a same thing at all, and I wouldn't use it here. 

When you have the cream and cheese combined, just pipe it into a mold, that can be frozen. And mold, shape, or size will do. It is up to you, and your imagination, what shape you want to serve it. Then just freeze the cream into the mold. 

When you are getting ready to serve the dessert, take it out of the freezer, and decorate it. 
Lots of different combinations of fresh berries and fruit will work. What you like and prefer, is the key. I dusted the plate with powdered sugar, and shaved a little gingerbread cookie dust on top of it. It has such fresh, light, and lovely Christmassy taste, and was ready to be served in no time at all! A winner in every way!
