Making mascarpone at home is one of my favourite occupations these days! A part from the 'magic' of it, and the resemblance to a chemistry experiment (I made this with Max, actually, he made it with me in the background giving instructions and liked doing it!) it is also so much cheaper, fresh and delicious that the one you buy!
For the mascarpone recipe just click here, it is easier that you may think! When the mascarpone is ready just add a tbsp of honey (I used Tawari) and fold. Divide the mascarpone into 4 cups and it is ready to be eaten or topped with what you fancy.
This time I just toasted a few pistachios in a pan, then I rub them with a tea towel to take away loose skins and chopped them coarsely. Then I also added some Fresh As dried strawberries, crunchy and full of flavour and aroma. A simple dessert that everyone loved!

This looks lovely Alessandra, the Fresh As dried strawberries are so yummy, my kids eat them before I get to use them in cooking! Thanks for the link to the marscapone need to make this again soon.
ReplyDeleteMy kids eat them from the packet too, and all the other Fresh As fruit, they are so yummy and smell so good :-)
Deleteuna crema golosissima Alessandra, buona settimana !
ReplyDeleteBuona settimana anche a te Chiara :-)
ReplyDeleteI love making my own mascarpone too. I tend to use it a lot in savoury dishes, but I love this idea for a simple dessert.
ReplyDeleteI like it with gorgonzola, but for the rest I mostly use it for desserts rather than savory dishes… or I just eat it by the spoonful!
ReplyDeleteHomemade mascarpone! Sounds delicious! Love the strawberry and pistachio combo!
ReplyDeleteBuonissimo! Mai pensato di fare il mascarpone a casa, mi fermavo a formaggio e yogurt, grazie per il suggerimento!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice simple dessert and so great that it doubles as a science experiment!
