Balsamic Strawberries With Whipped Mascarpone Cheese image

My neighbor brought this over one evening for my husband and I to sample. We just happened to be entertaining some guests, and hadn't planned a dessert. When the meal ended, I brought out the two portions and divided it carefully amongst the group. We practically licked our bowls clean, this was so wonderful. He had pulled the recipe from epicurious. Makes a beautiful presentation, very simple, very good. just be certain to use a good-quality balsamic.

I thought the mascarpone cheese was a bit too heavy. I might try using whipped cream instead next time.

This is a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I also added a dollop of whipped cream and it was divine!

I'm not a big fan of balsamic vinegar, but I actually really enjoyed this recipe. The sweetness of the strawberries balances out the tartness of the vinegar perfectly.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The strawberries were a bit tart and the mascarpone cheese was a bit too rich for my taste.

I thought the balsamic vinegar was a bit overpowering. Next time I'll use less.
