Mixed Berries With Orange Mascarpone Cream
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup vanilla 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
- 2 cups quartered strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- Orange curls (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
- Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl.
- Combine strawberries and next 3 ingredients (through blackberries) in a medium bowl. Gently stir in sugar, mint, and orange juice. Spoon fruit mixture into bowls; top evenly with mascarpone cream. Garnish with orange curls and mint leaves, if desired.
- Tip: Don't wash your berries until you're ready to use them; otherwise they can go bad quickly. Once you wash them, dry them gently on paper towellined jelly-roll pans. Give them a gentle shake to remove excess water. Also, I buy organic when possible because berries easily absorb pesticides.
- Kids Can Help: When washing berries, line baking sheets with paper towels. Then let kids rinse the berries in a colander, dump them onto the baking sheets, and give them a shake to dry them.
