Raspberry Mascarpone Napoleons
Raspberry Mascarpone Napoleons
This is quick, easy, and beautiful. Thanks to Denny for the photographic evidence.
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 oz peach schnapps
- 1/4 cup sugar
Mix the above until nicely stiff and aerated (use a stand mixer or a hand
mixer). Refrigerate until ready to use.
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh
- 1/4 cup sugar
Mix the above, smooshing the raspberries a little. Let them sit and macerate
until ready to serve.
- Peach puree
- Amaretto
Mix the above until it’s a nice drizzling consistency. I had some peach puree
in the freezer from another experiement, so I used that. You could also use
caramel sauce or chocolate syrup for this.
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
Cut puff pastry into 12 squares (or as many as you need to have two squares per serving). Bake in a 400F oven for 12 minutes, or until golden and puffy.
On a plate, drizzle the peach puree, caramel sauce, or chocolate syrup. Place one puff pastry square on the plate.
Using a pastry bag, squeeze a circle of mascarpone mixture onto the pastry. Spoon macerated raspberries on top. Place another puff pastry square on top,
squeeze on more mascarpone, then more raspberries.
Garnish with a whole raspberries, mint leaves, shaved almonds, or chocolate shavings, in any combination that you like. I meant to garnish mine with shaved almonds and powdered sugar, but I got so excited to eat it that I forgot.
