¾ cup heavy cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

Fresh mint leaves

Crushed almonds or granola for crunch
Instructions
-
Prepare the whipped mascarpone cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until thick and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer for faster results.
-
Make the raspberry layer: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with honey and lemon juice until slightly chunky but well combined.
-
Assemble the dessert: In serving glasses or bowls, spoon a layer of whipped mascarpone cream. Add a layer of raspberry mixture on top, then repeat the layers.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh mint or crushed almonds for a nice crunch. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
You can substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
-
If you prefer a smoother texture, puree the raspberries instead of mashing them.
-
This dessert can be made ahead and refrigerated, but it’s best enjoyed within a day or two for the freshest taste.
