MASCARPONE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES

These Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberries are dreamy! If you’re not familiar with mascarpone it’s a soft, creamy Italian cheese that is slightly sweet and buttery in flavor.

It actually has half the calories of butter though. It’s less tangy then cream cheese and the texture is what I love.

I didn’t realize it until now but I’ve been misspelling and mispronouncing mascarpone my entire life. It’s actually pronounced like this: mahs-car-POH-nay. There –  you’re practically speaking fluent Italian now!Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberrries.

You can easily find this Mascarpone at your grocery store by the specialty cheeses. Just look for the white package with green and red lettering.
