Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Amaretti cookies (crushed)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 cups Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste or extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
For the crumble topping, mix the crushed amaretti cookies, all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the blueberry filling in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the crisp is cooling, prepare the fresh vanilla mascarpone cream. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste or extract. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
Serve the blueberry amaretti crisp warm with a generous dollop of the fresh vanilla mascarpone cream on top. Enjoy!
