Baked Mascarpone and Blueberry Dessert : Low in Carbs

Yesterdays post featured cottage cheese and todays post features mascarpone cheese. This sugar-free yet deliciously decadent low-carb dessert I share only has three ingredients, it's simple and easy.


Ingredients
Serves Two
9g carbs per serving
2 egg yolks
200 g (7 oz.) mascarpone cheese
100 g (3½ oz.) fresh blueberries (strawberries, or raspberries could be used).
Instructions
can be seen here



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 am fasting now based on my beliefs. It is the Ramadan season, but I still enjoy reading cuisine stories like this. Thanks.

By the way, what happened to your other blog, “Solentwanderer”? There is nothing there. Is it unfinished, or is something wrong?

This sounds great. It must be pudding like when you add the eggs. Those daffodils are really lovely.

Good afternoon Jan. I'm passionate about cheese. But I confess, I've never tried mascarpone or blueberry, I'm not sure. It seems like a wonderful dessert. Big hug from your Brazilian friend.
