Crema Di Mascarpone (Chilled Cheese Dessert) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb mascarpone (ricotta or cream cheese may be used)
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks (lightly beaten)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons cognac (or other Brandy)
Preparation
-
Blend the cheese in an electric blender till very smooth.
Beat in the sugar, egg yolks, cream & Cognac till the mixture is very smooth & thick. Refrigerate till well-chilled.
To Serve: Spoon chilled crema into 4-6 sml dessert bowls, ramekins or goblets. Fresh raspberries or strawberries were suggested as the ideal garnish, but I think a wide variety of imaginative choices would also work well.
