Sweet Mascarpone Mousse with Raspberries Recipe

Dessert 7-13

This dessert is a delightful combination of creamy mascarpone cheese complimented with the sweetness of fresh summer fruits. Mascarpone is a soft Italian double or triple acid-set cream cheese that originated in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy during the Renaissance. This sweet and silky cow’s milk cheese is quite versatile, making it a wonderful addition to a variety of desserts. It also adds a rich texture to savory dishes. This is due to the quality achieved by its especially high percentage of saturated fat. Mascarpone can be found at your local grocery store or an Italian specialty shop or deli.

The Recipe

I found this mousse recipe in a wonderful cookbook with easy to follow recipes called Complete Pasta & Italian. It contains over two hundred pasta and Italian dishes. This recipe calls for the use of frozen fruit, but being that there are so many delicious fruits in season right now, I decided to use fresh raspberries. With them, my mousse turned out wonderfully. To elevate this dessert, if you are feeling adventurous, you can also add three tablespoons of your favorite liqueur to the mascarpone cheese mixture.

The Ingredients

1 Pound Mascarpone Cheese
1/2 Cup Superfine Sugar
4 Egg Yolks
14 Ounces Frozen Summer Fruits, such as Raspberries or Red Currants
Redcurrants, to Garnish
Amaretti Cookies, to Serve

About Laura G

Hi, I'm Laura G. A photographer, blogger and self-proclaimed food connoisseur.

As a child, I was exposed to a wide variety of foods. My mother had my siblings and me try foods at least once and if we didn't like what we tasted, we didn't have to eat it again. Luckily, I enjoyed almost everything that I tried. Unfortunately, in my adult years, I've been living with an autoimmune disease that has forced me to reevaluate my food choices. Even though I can no longer eat the foods I once enjoyed, many great alternatives have presented themselves. I believe we truly are what we eat and I look for the best food ingredients to fuel my body. I hope the recipes here on this food blog inspire you in your own food preparation endeavors.
