Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons apricot nectar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cardamom
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
8 fresh apricots, pitted and halved

Steps:

  • Beat the cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beat in the sugar and set aside. In another bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese with an electric mixer until very soft; beat in the apricot nectar, vanilla extract, and cardamom. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream.

I accidentally used heavy cream instead of mascarpone. The dessert was still good, but it wasn't as light and fluffy as it should have been.

I had some trouble finding ripe apricots, but the recipe turned out great anyway. I used canned apricots instead and they worked just fine.
