Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Rinse and drain the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Hull and slice the strawberries if needed.
In a large bowl, gently toss all the berries together with the granulated sugar until evenly coated. Spread them evenly in a shallow, oven-safe gratin or casserole dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the mascarpone mixture evenly over the berries, spreading it out gently with a spatula if necessary to cover all the fruit.
Place the dish under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling. Watch it closely to prevent burning.
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
