This is a yummy summer treat that my family loves. It doesn’t take much time and it looks so pretty.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pints strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice (I have used cranberry and other juices.)
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup each of blueberries and blackberries
  • 3 ounces white chocolate, chopped (I use white chocolate chips.)
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
  • Sponge cake or angel food cake, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 6 small strawberries for garnish, if you like

Directions

  1. In a food processor, puree 2 cups of strawberries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth; pour into bowl. Slice remaining strawberries. Stir sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries into strawberry puree.
  2. In a large bowl, melt white chocolate in microwave (I use a double boiler; it melts better, I think). After fully melted, allow to cool slightly. Fold in mascarpone cheese. In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar just until stiff. Fold cream into chocolate mixture, just until combined.
  3. Place half of sponge cake (or angel food cake) cubes into 6 glasses or dishes. Spoon half of berry mixture over cake. Top with half of cream mixture, spreading evenly. Repeat with remaining cake, berries, and cream. Serve, or cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with a strawberry and sprig of mint.

Delicious! You may want to double the recipe, because they go fast.
