Ingredients

  • 400 g Lussaria Mascarpone, cold
  • 300 ml Lussaria Whipping Cream, cold
  • 80 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • To serve: mixed berries, mint, or a fruit coulis

Method

  1. Whip the cold cream to soft peaks with half the sugar. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, gently loosen the mascarpone with a spatula. Add the remaining sugar, vanilla and lemon zest; mix smooth.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone in three additions — carefully, keep the air.
  4. Spoon into serving glasses. Refrigerate 3 hours (or overnight).
  5. Top with berries and a mint sprig before serving.

Baker's note

The most-underrated dessert on any menu. Because there are only three ingredients, the quality of each shows — real mascarpone and real cream both matter.
