Roasted Strawberries With Mascarpone Whipped Cream Recipes

MACERATED STRAWBERRIES WITH MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM AND MINT

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, stir together the strawberries and sugar. Set aside, and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a hand-mixer or stand-up mixer with the whisk attachment, on medium speed, blend together the mascarpone cheese and 1 tbsp of the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Spoon into a separate bowl and set aside.
• Pour the cream and the remaining sugar into the original mixing bowl and blend on high-speed just until stiff peaks form, about a minute or two. Turn the mixer off and carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Add the lemon zest and gently stir to combine.
• Divide the strawberries among four small plates or bowls and top with the mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
