Ingredients

Macerated Strawberries

250 grams sweet strawberries washed and hulled
30 ml vanilla sugar
5 ml lemon juice

Mascarpone cream

65 grams mascarpone cheese
60 ml double thick cream

Garnish

10 ml aged balsamic vinegar
2 mint sprigs

Instructions

Macerating the Strawberries

Place the washed and hulled strawberries into a large bowl and cut any that are too large so that they are all the same size.
Sprinkle over the sugar and lemon juice and toss together lightly. Be gentle and try not to damage the berries.
Allow the berries to macerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the sugar and lemon juice to extract the berry juice and form a delicious glossy glaze.
Do not leave for longer than 20 minutes as the lemon juice will break down the strawberries and turn them to mush.

Whipping the Mascarpone cream

In a small bowl, whip the cream lightly until it is thick enough to make a trail, about 2 minutes with a wire whisk.
Mix the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until combined and homogenous. It should not be curdled or look like butter but be smooth and scoopable.

Plating

Divide the macerated strawberries equally between two stemmed glasses or dessert bowls.
Place a quenelle of mascarpone cream on top of each bowl of strawberries
Drizzle one teaspoon of aged balsamic vinegar over each portion and garnish with a sprig of mint.
Serve and enjoy.
