amyinva Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I feel like I must make a dessert with mascarpone cheese. I have never used it, and every dessert they make on Chopped has it! Does anyone have a wonderful recipe to share? Something wonderfully creamy, not too sweet, and not with fruits that currently are out of season (I keep seeing recipes with strawberries). Chocolate is a bonus, but certainly not required. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Try any dessert that Giada does on the Food network. I'd scroll through recipes on their website until you find something you want to try...then, of course, you'll want to share the recipe and your results here.

ThatHomeschoolDad Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 To really do it the Chopped way, you'll have to use mascarpone, candied beets, root beer, and yak liver. Just sayin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ha! no, no, no, candied mushrooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyinva Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Julienne the yak liver very thin, fry in bacon grease until a crispy lardon effect is reached, add salt and set aside. Boil beets in root beer until tender, purée with heavy cream. Make vanilla mascarpone whipped cream. Layer beet purée with mascarpone cream, top with yak lardon and just a few pink peppercorns. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It doesn't count unless you use at least one ingredient in the ice cream machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy in Australia Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Do you like coffee? Because Tiramisu made with espresso coffee & mascarpone and plenty of good chocolate grated on top is clearly the food of angels :drool5: Plenty of recipes around.

Chocolate Rose Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I made the following recipe for a potluck at work and also for Christmas. I love it! Instead of putting cocoa on top, I used a microplane to grate some dark chocolate. This is a low carb recipe, but I'm sure you could use any recipe for the cookie cups and sub sugar. I used DaVinci sugar-free kahlua syrup instead of the liqueur, and didn't need the guar gum. Even the filling all by itself is yummy! * Exported from MasterCook * Tiramisu Cookie Cups Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Christmas Cookies Gluten Free Holiday Holidays Low Carb Quick & Easy Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Cookie Cups: 2 cups almond flour 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener or other erythritol 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 6 tbsp butter -- melted 1 large egg 1/4 tsp stevia extract Tiramisu Filling: 1/4 cup whipping cream -- chilled 1/3 cup powdered Swerve 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (preferably [homemade sugar-free coffee liqueur) 1/8 tsp stevia extract 6 oz mascarpone -- room temperature 1/2 tsp guar gum (if necessary -- to re-emulsify) (1/2 to 3/4) Cocoa powder for sprinkling Yield: 24 cookie cups Serving Size: 2 cookie cups For the cookie cups, preheat oven to 325F and grease a mini muffin tin (24 mini-muffin capacity). In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol, espresso powder, baking powder and salt. Stir in butter, egg and stevia until dough comes together. Form by hand into approximately 1-inch balls and place dough balls into prepared mini-muffin tin. This recipe will make exactly 24 so if you've made your balls too big or too small, go back and redistribute the dough. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of each mini-muffin hole. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly brown and cookie cup is puffed up a bit. Remove from oven and use the end of a wooden spoon to gently create a nice well in the center of each cookie cup. Let cool. For the filling, whip cream with powdered erythritol until it forms stiff peaks. Stir in coffee liqueur and stevia extract. Gently fold in room-temperature mascarpone. If it separates and gets clumpy, beat in guar gum 1/4 tsp at a time until comes back together. Spoon or pipe filling into cooled cookie cups. Sift cocoa powder over top and refrigerate 20 minutes to set. Serves 12 (2 cookie cups each). Each serving has 5.5 g of carbs and 2 g of fiber. Total NET CARBS = 3.5 g. Description: "Creamy tiramisu filling in little coffee-flavoured cookie cups. Tiramisu you can eat with your fingers! Low carb and gluten-free."
