Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

This was the perfect ending to a great dinner and memorable evening with friends that were visiting from Italy. The berries with the mascarpone was light and just sweet enough. It was easy to prepare ~ everyone was asked for the recipe!

This is a lovely dessert. The meringue is a must--it's crunchy and perfect with the creamy mascarpone and sweet berries.

This was a delicious dessert! I made it for a group of people, and everyone loved it. Berries are a little on the expensive side, so if I make it again it will just be with berries that are on sale or bought for cheap at a farmers market or u-pick farm.
