Sweet Mascarpone Double Mousse with Fruit Compote

Are you looking for a slightly more complex dessert recipe to showcase your love of mixed berries? While one of the best times for this dessert is when your fresh berries are in season, so late spring/early summer, but when a berry craving strikes, then berries it is, seasons be damned!  A feeling we understand all too well, as we're huge fans of strawberries and raspberries in just about any flavor combination, and in just about any kind of tasty recipe, savory or sweet.

But one of our all-time favorite classic ways to showcase these sweet little morsels is in a classic, time-worn dessert like mousse. Our chefs have developed this unusual mousse recipe just for you, as a way to include those berries above, but also cutting way back on the refined sugar element, and making Ricotta and Mascarpone key players here. If you're a sweet-tooth, but not an overly-sweet kind of eater, this is the dessert recipe for you. Leave yourself ample time for your assembled mousse to chill in the fridge and gain that all-important textural element, but once that's over with, you're in for a major fruity treat.

Creamy and delicious, this berry-based dessert recipe won't break the sugar bank for you but will break the fruit flavor walls down! Enjoy that fruit even out of season - every once in a while, you've gotta give in to the berry needs. Everyone enjoying this lovely mousse treat will back you up - smiles will be seen all around your table!
