How to Make Strawberry Mascarpone Parfaits
Mascarpone is a soft Italian cream cheese. It is so creamy and smooth that only a small bit of it is needed to add depth and character to an otherwise ordinary recipe. These parfaits are healthy enough to be served with breakfast, or decadent enough for dessert, and they can be made in only a few minutes. Save this recipe for spring and summer, when strawberries are at their peak.
