Baked Mascarpone and Blueberry Dessert : Delicious and Low Carb

Sharing a recipe idea from Pascale Naessens, this sugar-free yet deliciously decadent low-carb dessert has only three ingredients, so simple and easy!


Ingredients
Serves Two
9g carbs per serving
2 egg yolks
200 g (200 ml) mascarpone cheese
100 g (160 ml) fresh blueberries (strawberries, or raspberries could be used).
Instructions

Mascarpone originated in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy during the Renaissance. It is ivory-coloured, exceptionally smooth, and an easily spreadable fresh cream cheese. The flavour is milky and slightly sweet. The rich, buttery texture comes from the high butterfat content. Mascarpone generally comes in tubs, and it should remain refrigerated. Check the "use by" date on the package for storage time, but it's generally a week.

...I'm not sure about cheese and blueberries.

Catarina said...

I feel tempted... however, I better find a substitute... maybe ricotta, crème fraîche or cottage cheese. My concern is that mascarpone is one of the highest fat cheeses.

I bought a container of mascarpone a few months ago. Wish I'd had this recipe then! This looks delicious and I may have to buy some more of that extremely decadent and expensive cheese.

Hello there, many thanks for your comment and question.
The flavour of Mascarpone is milky and slightly sweet, and works well in this recipe.

All the best Jan

Sounds tasty. I tend to just eat the blueberries as is.

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

This looks very delicious! Mascarpone is sadly very expensive where I live but I did find a bulk source recently that is more affordable so I am collecting different ideas as to how to use it so a bulk size would be well-spent. I will add this recipe to my file Thanks!
