  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Mascarpone Cream

  • 8 oz. mascarpone cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar

Strawberries

  • 1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)

Pistachio Crumble

  • 1/3 cup raw pistachios
  • 3 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract starting at low speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone until fully blended and smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make the pistachio crumble: In a food processor, pulse the raw pistachios and light brown sugar until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the melted butter. Chill the crumble in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
  3. Assemble the dessert: Begin by layering one-quarter of the sliced strawberries into a small wine or parfait glass. Sprinkle some pistachio crumble on top, then add half of the mascarpone cream. Add another layer of strawberries and pistachio crumble. Repeat for the second serving.
  4. Serve: Serve the assembled strawberries and cream dessert immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • You can prepare the mascarpone cream and pistachio crumble up to a day ahead; just keep them refrigerated until assembly.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberries, cream, and pistachio crumble according to your taste preferences.
  • If desired, sprinkle a little sugar on the strawberries for extra sweetness.
