Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams mixed fresh berries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 120 grams butter cookies or shortbread cookies
- 30 grams unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a stand mixer or handheld electric whisk until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy. Refrigerate while preparing the other layers.
In a small bowl, toss the mixed fresh berries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out the juices.
Crush the butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a resealable bag and rolling pin.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and combine it with the cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Assemble the parfaits in serving glasses: Start with a layer of cookie crumble, followed by a layer of mascarpone cream, and then a layer of the berry mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of the mascarpone cream and a few berries on top for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Serve cold and enjoy your Heavenly Dessert Parfait!
