Berries with Mascarpone and Meringue
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Show:  Everyday Italian
Episode:  First Time Dinner Party
1 (10-ounce) container fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 1/4 cups fresh raspberries
1 1/4 cups fresh blackberries
2/3 cup fresh blueberries
4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup whipping cream
Pinch ground cinnamon
4 meringue cookies, coarsely crumbled

Toss the berries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let stand until juices form, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir the mascarpone cheese in a large bowl to loosen. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and pinch of cinnamon in another large bowl to soft peaks. Fold 1/4 of the cream into the mascarpone cheese to lighten. Fold in the remaining whipped cream.

Using a slotted spoon, divide the berries among plates. Spoon the mascarpone cheese atop the berries. Sprinkle the meringue cookies over top. Drizzle the berry juices around the dessert and serve immediately.
