MASCARPONE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
These Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberries are dreamy! If you’re not familiar with mascarpone it’s a soft, creamy Italian cheese that is slightly sweet and buttery in flavor.
It actually has half the calories of butter though. It’s less tangy then cream cheese and the texture is what I love.
I didn’t realize it until now but I’ve been misspelling and mispronouncing mascarpone my entire life. It’s actually pronounced like this: mahs-car-POH-nay. There – you’re practically speaking fluent Italian now!
You can easily find this Mascarpone at your grocery store by the specialty cheeses. Just look for the white package with green and red lettering.
I took these strawberries to Bunko and the girls loved them! Everyone was asking what they were stuffed with. You can definitely tell a difference between mascarpone and cream cheese.
Hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
