Berries With Caramel Mascarpone Recipe
- 1/2 c. White sugar
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1 1/2 c. Heavy (whipping) cream
- 8 ounce Mascarpone
- Fresh raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, or possibly any kind of berry you like
- Place the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Continue boiling gently till the mix turns a light caramel color.
- Be careful not to let it burn.
- I usually let it go to a medium caramel color.
- Then stir in the heavy cream all at once.
- The sugar will probably harden at this point; it is ok. Reduce the heat.
- Continue stirring till the sugar dissolves again and the mix turns caramel-colored.
- By this time you'll recognize it.
- You can cook it down as thin or possibly as thick as you want.
- I usually make it the consistency of maple syrup rather than honey.
- Remove from heat.
- (At this point you can chill the caramel, covered, till you need it.
- Of course it will thicken after having been in the refrigerator.)
- Place the mascarpone in a medium bowl.
- Whisk in a small amount of the caramel sauce (a few Tbsp.
- to 1/2 c depending on your taste) and blend.
- You do not want the mascarpone to be quite as caramelly as the caramel sauce itself.
- You also want to save most of the sauce for the presentation.
- To serve, place some of the berries on a puddle of caramel sauce and place a large dollop of the mascarpone alongside.
- Or possibly, put down the mascarpone first, top with berries and then the caramel!
- Or possibly, just stand in front of the refrigerator and sneak tastes of the sauce with your butt holding open the refrigerator door.
- :) See, I haven't changed which much.
- Anyway, this is a pretty versatile recipe as far as presentation goes.
- I'm sure you could use other fruits too.
