Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 recipe: Homemade Fudgy Brownies, cooked, cooled and cubed
  • 18 ounces frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1 drop pure orange essential oil
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 - 2 drops pure orange essential oil
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Prepare your favorite brownies - mine are Homemade Fudgy Brownies.
  • Cool and then cut them into about 3/4" to 1" cubes. Set aside.
  • Combine the raspberries, orange oil, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl.
  • Stir until well-mixed, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, orange oil vanilla, and 1/4 cup of sugar. (I use powdered sugar because I like that you don't have any accidental sugar granules that don't dissolve, but it's not necessary.)
  • Beat the mascarpone mixture with an electric mixer until medium-firm peaks form.
  • To assemble, place a few brownie chunks in the bottom of 6 individual dessert cups (small juice glasses work well for this).
  • Top the brownies with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture, then with about 3 tablespoons of raspberries.
  • Repeat until all the elements have been evenly divided among the cups.
  • You can also serve this in a large trifle bowl, but I think mini, individual servings are cute for entertaining.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
  • Serve chilled.
