Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup brandy or grappa
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
6 wide strips lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
3/4 pound fresh cherries, pitted
4 ounces mascarpone cheese (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Lemon-Almond Biscotti, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together brandy and 1/4 cup sugar until sugar is mostly dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, fennel seeds, and pepper; whisk to combine. Add lemon zest and cherries and stir until combined. Refrigerate, covered, 24 hours (or up to 3 days), stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, whisk mascarpone until loose and shiny, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and 2 teaspoons sugar on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla. Fold mascarpone into whipped cream until well combined. Divide cherries and liquid among 4 plates. Serve with mascarpone cream and biscotti.

I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I loved this dessert! The mascarpone cream was so rich and decadent, it balanced out the tartness of the cherries perfectly.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a success. The cherries are always plump and juicy and the mascarpone cream is always smooth and creamy. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion.

This is my new go-to dessert for special occasions. It's always a crowd-pleaser and it's so easy to make. I love that I can make the cherries ahead of time and then just whip up the mascarpone cream when I'm ready to serve.

I made this for a girls' night in and it was a hit! The cherries were so easy to make and the mascarpone cream was the perfect complement. We all agreed that it was the best dessert we'd had in a long time.

Drunken cherries and mascarpone cream, a match made in dessert heaven! The boozy cherries were bursting with flavor and the mascarpone cream was smooth and velvety. I served it with toasted pound cake and it was the perfect ending to our dinner party
