- 60 milliliters Honey
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Powdered sugar

Instructions
Place a skillet over medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Divide the mascarpone mixture evenly into serving glasses or small bowls.
Drizzle the remaining honey over the top of each serving.
