Ingredients
Product | amount |
Mascarpone cheese | 200 g |
Powdered sugar | 80-100 g |
Cream 10% fat | 30-40 ml |
Fresh or frozen strawberries | 100-150 g |
Banana | 100-150 g |

Step cooking
- Put 200 g of mascarpone cheese in a deep cup. Beat the cheese with a mixer for 5 minutes.
- Add 80-100 g of powdered sugar to the cup and beat the cheese again with a mixer, until a mass of homogeneous consistency is obtained.
- Now add to the cheese 30-40 ml of cream 10% fat. Beat the cheese for another minute.
- Use a hand blender to chop 50 g of cookies into small crumbs.
- Cut a banana weighing 100-150 g into thin circles. It can also be cut into a cube - it all depends on your preferences.
- Cut 100-150 g of strawberries into thin slices. If you use frozen berries, it is important that they melt well, and there is as little juice as possible. Leave the three beautiful strawberries intact - they will be needed for decoration.
- Put some cookies in the salad bowls.
- Lay a layer of bananas on top of it, then strawberries.
- Coat the layer with prepared cheese.
- Repeat laying out the ingredients in the same sequence until you fill the salad bowls to the brim.
- The top layer should remain cheesy. Put a whole strawberry on it, sprinkle a little cocoa powder. You can let the dessert stand in the refrigerator for half an hour, or you can immediately serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
Strawberry and banana dessert with mascarpone - only one of the dozens of possible desserts with this Italian cheese. The delicate texture and amazing creamy taste make this component almost universal. It goes well with any fruit, biscuit or cookie.
Bananas were used in the recipe above, but you should be aware that this is not necessary. Instead, you can use kiwi, passion fruit, papaya and any other fruits to your taste. This dessert will look great not only with strawberries, but also with raspberries, and any other berries. You can even use citrus fruits - oranges, tangerines or grapefruit.
The sweetness of the dessert can also be changed. If you are a sweet tooth, and have chosen sour fruits, you can put a little more than 100 g of powdered sugar into the cheese. If you don’t like very sweet desserts, just use less sugar.
You can decorate such a dish with elements from its composition, as is done in this recipe. The green sprig of mint also looks interesting. You can sprinkle dessert with cocoa powder and grated chocolate. And you can pour a thin stream of syrup. The main thing is that the appearance of the treat pleases you.
