Mascarpone And fruit Parfait ( low carb)
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:11 amEqual parts mascarpone and heavy whipping cream
Sweetener ( I used stevia powder)
Vanilla
Fresh or frozen no added sugar berries ( berries are the lowest carb fruit)- if frozen , let at least partially thaw.
Either granola if you don't need low carb or chopped nuts
Scrape mascarpone from carton into bowl. Whip mascarpone with hand mixer or by hand until well softened and fluffy.
Add heavy cream. Beat until mixture becomes thick.
Add small amount vanilla ( for a cup of mascarpone plus a cup of heavy whipping cream, I used one capful of vanilla about 3/4 tsp) , mix in. Add sweetener to taste. If I had vanilla sugar free syrup I would have used that instead of vanilla plus sweetener.
Layer in a glass container each serving. Start with small amount nuts, then mascarpone cream mix, then berries and repeat. Can top with plain sweet whipped cream and a berry.
It's really easy and even picky son likes it.
Mascarpone, if you haven't tried it is found in my store near cream cheese and is a mild very slightly sweet tasting very smooth creamy cheese product. It can be used in either savory or sweet dishes. Flavor reminds me of my Grandpa's sweet cream he skimmed off his cows milk after it sat in cold porch.
