Crema Di Mascarpone (Chilled Cheese Dessert) image

The beauty of this dessert by Romeo Salta from "The Pleasures of Italian Cooking" is its simplicity. It is a no-cook & quick-fix taste sensation that is best when garnished w/fresh berries. Enjoy! (Time does not include time to chill the crema)

I was disappointed with this recipe. The texture was grainy and the flavor was bland.

A bit too rich for my taste, but my kids loved it.

This was a breeze to make, and it had such a creamy texture that I could have eaten it with a spoon! It was also very refreshing, especially when served chilled.
