Mandatory item on the menu of all famous Italian restaurants.
Dessert with Mascarpone But, as they say, no tiramisuOne is famous for mascarpone cheese. Of course, he is good in himself. As good as unique. It is produced in Lombardy from cream made from buffalo milk. However, these animals are not so many in the mentioned Italian region, and mascarpone is too popular and in demand all over the world. Therefore, in the established technology of making cheese, some deviations from the traditional rules are allowed. In particular, it is permissible to use cow's milk to get cream. But, as Italian producers claim, these are absolutely “special” cows, feeding on special herbs and flowers of Lombardy. Therefore, they also give milk completely “special”, fragrant and unique. We will not question the legend invented by Italian manufacturers to create a strong global brand “Mascarpone”. Cream cheese of this brand rightly deserves popularity and the right to be called special. Let's go back to the desserts that can be made from this unique product. Dolce di mascarpone This dessert is very similar to traditional tiramisu, but it is much simpler (which, notice, does not mean worse). For cooking you will need the following ingredients: 500 gr. Mascarpone cream cheese, 5 eggs (separate the yolks from the whites), 10 tablespoons of powdered sugar, any coffee liqueur for impregnation (a few tablespoons), purchased biscuit without filling (or you can bake “ladies fingers” on your own). from two parts - biscuit base and cream top. Initially preparing the bottom layer. In hot boiled water (a little less than half a glass) the liquor is diluted. Two or three tablespoons. If more, then the taste of alcohol will be brighter, and this is not for everyone. Then the cookies are alternately and very quickly dipped into the water-liquor solution and in dense rows placed on the bottom of the form with high sides, forming an even biscuit “flooring”. Why rush? The point is hot water: it is immediately absorbed into the biscuit and, if you linger, the sponge cake can simply turn into porridge.
The next step is preparing cheese cream. At first, the whole mascarpone is kneaded and whipped with a mixer. Then the yolks are pounded white with five spoons of powdered sugar, this mixture is introduced into the cheese mass, and everything is kneaded properly. Next, whipped proteins and the remaining icing sugar. To very strong foam and doubling in volume. Ready-made proteins are carefully introduced into, and still once again thoroughly whipped with a mixer. Ready cream is laid out on the previously prepared biscuit base. The top is leveled and the dolce di mascarpone is sent to the refrigerator to soak up and thicken. Before serving, you can sprinkle with cocoa powder (sift through a strainer). And you can put on top a layer of fresh berries (blueberries, blueberries, strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries). Ice cream with mascarpone
You will need to make this dessert.The following ingredients: 350 gr. Mascarpone, 60 gr. sugar, 3 yolks, 100 gr. fat milk, 2 tablespoons of brandy. The first thing in the lush foam whipped yolks with sugar. Then all the other ingredients are added to this mass. The whole mixture is thoroughly mixed for a few minutes, after which it is transferred to the freezing form and sent to the freezer. After an hour of freezing, the future ice cream is again extracted into the light and whipped with a mixer for about five minutes. Another hour sent to the freezer and then whipped again. After that, it is the last time passes the stage of freezing. After three hours, ready-made ice cream can be laid out on ice-cream bowls, decorated (with berries, chocolate or nuts) and served on the table. Fruit salad with mascarpone Preparing fruit salads is always easy. This recipe is no exception. You will need: Mascarpone cream cheese (250 gr.), Fresh fruit (oranges, bananas, kiwi, peaches, apricots, pineapples) or fresh berries (forest or garden). Mix the mascarpone with a mixer, mix with cut fruits (or berries). Put the finished salad in the ice-cream bowls, cool. Before serving, decorate with any crushed nuts and grated chocolate. The main secret of mascarpone's popularity lies in its amazing creamy taste, delicate creamy consistency and amazing ability to easily combine with a variety of products. Italian cheese is good not only in desserts, but also in snacks, and in main dishes. It is invariably excellent in and of itself, in a pure uncombined form. True, the mascarpone's excessive enthusiasm can seriously “hit” on the figure. More than 90% of the cheese consists of cream, and its fat content is about 50%. Although, who thinks about it when it comes to such a delicious product?
