Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 125 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place the sliced strawberries in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2: Add the balsamic vinegar and granulated sugar to the bowl with the strawberries. Gently toss the strawberries to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the strawberries marinate at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: While the strawberries marinate, prepare the whipped mascarpone cheese. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the mascarpone mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the mixture can become grainy. Once whipped, refrigerate the mascarpone until ready to serve.
Step 5: To serve, spoon the marinated strawberries into individual serving dishes or glasses. Add a generous dollop of the whipped mascarpone cheese on top of the strawberries.
Step 6: (Optional) Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy!
