Cookie Cake with Mascarpone and Berries
Baking and Desserts • Italian
Description
If you have a vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and add them to the cream instead of vanilla extract. Any berries will work—strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, red currants. You can also use frozen berries, such as cherries, after thawing them and draining any excess liquid.
