Aug 24, 2015 It is pretty much my ultimate summer dessert – a whipped Canadian Mascarpone filling smoothed into a buttery, crumbly graham cracker crust, piled with juicy, plump strawberries. You seriously can not go wrong here. It’s cool, creamy and fresh, featuring the best of local cheese and farmer’s market berries. And it’s so pretty, don’t you think?! The only part that requires the oven is the crust – the cheesecake-like filling is no-bake, and the berries are simply sliced and lightly glazed with melted jam. I love the light, milky flavour the Mascarpone imparts, and, of course, the sumptuous texture. The lemon adds a lovely freshness, but doesn’t steal the show. And speaking of show… here’s the video!
This recipe is very versatile, so feel free to swap in blackberries, raspberries, cherries, or peaches – really, whatever is sweet and beautiful at your local market (just switch the jam flavour to match).
