Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 quarter cup Almonds (sliced, toasted)
- 4 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, Amaretto liqueur, and granulated sugar.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it is smooth, fluffy, and forms soft peaks.
Divide the mascarpone mixture evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls.
Spoon the cooled blueberry-Amaretto mixture over the mascarpone cream in each glass, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the top with toasted sliced almonds for crunch.
If desired, garnish each serving with a sprig of mint for a fresh pop of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled dessert.
