Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Serves: 4-6
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

Mascarpone Cream

• 1 container Farm Boy™ Mascarpone Cheese (250 g)
• 3-4 Tbsp icing sugar or to taste
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup 35% whipping cream

Fruit

• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 5 cups stone fruit such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, or cherries
• 1/4 cup brown or demerara sugar
• 1/2 vanilla bean optional

1. For the mascarpone cream: In a medium bowl, combine Farm Boy™ Mascarpone Cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract.
2. Whisk briskly to combine.
3. Add whipping cream and whisk until thick, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

6. Add Farm Boy™ Orange Juice (or amaretto, if using) and cook on medium-high heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until syrupy and thick.
7. Serve fruit warm or at room temperature, topped with the mascarpone cream.

Chef’s Tips:

We love a mixture of summer stone fruit for this recipe, but if you only have peaches or nectarines, make it with those! Feel free to swap out Farm Boy™ Orange Juice for amaretto. The fruit makes a great topping for pancakes or waffles. A great substitute for the mascarpone cream is your favourite Farm Boy™ ice cream or even some thick Greek yogurt. To make a lighter cream, substitute plain yoghurt for whipping cream.
