Strawberries with mascarpone and basil cream

I found a recipe more or less simiar to mine. The lady suggests some modifications at the end of the recipe...






500 g very sweet, medium-sized strawberries


  • 1 - 1,5 tbsp icing sugar


  • 1.5 tbsp raspberry vinegar (red wine vinegar)



  • Wash the berries, remove the stems, halve the berries and place in a bowl


  • Combine the icing sugar and vinegar and add it to the strawberries, stir gently and leave to chill for 30 min in a fridge



  • 125 g mascarpone cheese


  • 100 ml cream 25% fat


  • 1 tbsp icing sugar


  • 50 ml chopped basil leaves



  • In a bowl combine the mascarpone and cream, add the icing sugar and beat together


  • Add the basil and stir well


  • Serve the strawberries topped with the cream


I used the passion fruit juice instead of the vinegar. Also I took fromage blanc instead of mascarpone. I think that 50 ml of the chopped basil (its about 20 large basil leaves) is a bit too much, the cream turned to have an overpowering basil flavor. I took a bit less.
