Viral Lemon & Fruit Desserts with Mascarpone Cream
50 mins prepServes 6
I made those viral fruit desserts again… but this version actually impressed me. The balance of the cream with the tart lemon curd was exactly what I wanted. Light, fresh, not overly sweet. Now I just want to keep making different versions of these.
Lemon Cake Layer:
Whisk egg and sugar until slightly pale. Mix in butter, milk, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients until smooth. Spread thin and bake at 325°F for 10–14 minutes. Cool completely.
Lemon Curd:
Whisk everything except butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low, stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Chill.
Mascarpone Cream:
Whip everything to medium-stiff peaks.
Assemble:
Layer cake, curd, cream, and fruit. Chill slightly and they’re perfect.
