MASCARPONE CREAM (For Fruit or Berries)

MAKES ABOUT 1-1/2 CUPS

Mascarpone is an Italian double or triple-cream cheese that is very soft and mild. It is especially good as a dessert cheese and is an important ingredient in Tiramisu. I love it made this way, and used as a topping for fresh fruit or berries. This version is considerably lighter than those made with heavy cream.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream

1/2 cup 2% milk, more if desired

2 teaspoons granulated sugar or sugar substitute

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth. If a thinner consistency is desired, whisk in a little more milk. Spoon over fresh fruit or berries.
