Mascarpone and Raspberry Parfaits Recipe

This is one of those summer desserts that once you have tried it, you will keep making it over and over again. It is such an easy and delicious recipe and I know you will love it as much as I do once you taste it. I found it in my mums recipe book. I cannot remember her ever making it but I decided to give it a try and am happy to say, I am glad I did. It is great for parties as will make up about 24 individual serves. I have made this with strawberries and strawberry jelly and it also tastes great. You could substitute it for any of your favourite fruits, especially such as mangoes, bananas or pinapple.

INGREDIENTS:

85g packet of raspberry jelly crystals
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cointreau liqueur
250g mascarpone
300ml thickened cream
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
240g fresh raspberries

METHOD:

Place jelly crystals in a heatproof jug. Add boiling water and stir to dissolve thoroughly. Add cold water and liqueur. Pour into 24 small glasses and place on a tray. Put in refrigerator and leave until set.
Whisk mascarpone in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until thickened slightly. Beat cream, sifted icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold into mascarpone.
Top the jelly with mascarpone mixture, then cover and refrigerate.
Sprinkle with the raspberries and serve.
