Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional fresh raspberries for garnish
Mint leaves (optional) for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash the raspberries until the mixture is slightly chunky but still retains some whole berries. Set aside to let the flavors meld for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped mascarpone using a spatula, aiming for a marbled effect.
Spoon the combined raspberry fool into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Once chilled, garnish each serving with additional fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
