Mango and Raspberry Mascarpone Whip Parfait (Guest Post)

I am pleased to bring you another guest post, this one by Anuradha of Baker Street.  Anuradha and I connected originally over Twitter.  When I was just barely starting out and didn’t know a tweet from a twit, she was kindly retweeting my posts and helping me gain traction in social media.  She’s a wonderfully supportive blogger who makes incredible baked goods.  You should check out her Monday Muffin series, it will knock your socks off!  As I said, not all of my guest posters would choose to go low carb and/or gluten free, so this is a real, honest to goodness, full carb full sugar treat.  You have been warned!

Its an absolute privilege to post on Carolyn’s blog today. A master baker and a prolific cook, her blog is just drool inducing. She manages to effortlessly whip up everything from a Broccoli Cheese Soup to a Boston Cream Pie. Of late, Carolyn has been concentrating on a lot of gluten-free and low carb desserts. I honestly thought of baking a low carb dessert but I changed my mind and got you this treat instead.
Mango and Raspberry Mascarpone Whip Parfait3
A self-imposed tradition in my house is to make Strawberry Mascarpone Whip Parfaits as soon as berries are in season. And so over the last couple of months I did make them a few times over. However, I had a change of heart and decided to shoot from the hip and take a chance this time around when I saw a whole basket of sweet smelling glistening; fresh and juicy mangoes.
While mangoes and the mascarpone whip pair perfectly, I wanted to add some berries which would make it more vibrant, colorful and be complimenting the gooey brownies.

You could set this parfait in any way you like. Be it a glass, small take away cups so you can sneak it into work or a large trifle bowl to serve a crowd.

Mango and Raspberry Mascarpone Whip Parfait

Minimally adapted from goodlife eats and Desserts 4 today.
Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups brownie chunks
  • 9 oz raspberries, (If you’re using frozen fruit then it needs to be thawed, I crushed mine before using)
  • 9 oz mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar, divided
  • Zest of one orange
  • 8oz mascarpone cheese
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Cut your favorite brownies — either made from a box or homemade — into about 3/4 to 1 inch cubes. Set aside.
  2. Combine the mangoes and orange zest. Stir until well-­mixed, and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar.
  4. Beat the mascarpone mixture with an electric mixer until medium-­firm peaks form.
  5. To assemble, place a few brownie chunks in the bottom of 6 individual dessert cups or glasses. Top the brownies with about 21/2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture, then with about 1-2 tablespoons of mangoes and raspberries.
  6. Repeat until all the elements have been evenly divided among the cups.
  7. Refrigerate until serving. Serve chilled.
Notes:
In case the mangoes are not sweet, add 1/4 cup sugar along with the orange zest and gently mix until everything is combined.
Happy Baking!

  7. Hi Carolyn, thanks for introducing me to Anuradha! The parfaits looks so delicious. I'm a huge trifle fan and can easily see this making its way to my table (in one big bowl so no one knows how much of it I eat!).
