Brûléed Fruit with Mascarpone Yogurt Sauce
I’m always looking for ways to enjoy a fruit dessert. Taking a page from a French classic, this recipe is a crème brûlée dessert, with pieces of juicy fruit sprinkled with brown sugar, broiled until caramelized on top, and then topped with a creamy mascarpone yogurt and macadamia nuts.
Serves: 6
Ingredients
For fruit:
1 Tsp. Vanilla extract
¼ Cup Packed brown sugar
¼ Tsp. Fine salt
4 Strawberries
2 Blood oranges or navel oranges
½ Pineapple
1 Large Mango
To finish(Topping):
¹⁄³ Cup Mascarpone cheese
1 Cup Plain Greek yogurt
½ Cup Toasted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Place the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat. Put the vanilla, brown sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut the top off the strawberries and slice lengthwise.
- Cut the orange crosswise into a ½-inch thick disk and add to the bowl with the brown sugar mixture.
- Peel a mango, cut the fleshy part away from the pit and cut the fruit into ¼-inch thick slices; add to the bowl of citrus. Cut the pineapple peel, cut away the core, then cut the fruit into long strips ¼-inch thick; add to the bowl of citrus.
- Lightly coat the fruit with the brown sugar with your hands. You will notice a dissolution of the brown sugar and the juice will be released from the fruit. With your hands, lift the fruit from the juice onto a rimmed baking sheet; distribute well. Set aside the bowl and juices.
- Broil for about 10 minutes until golden brown (watch keenly and turn the pan if necessary). Remove the pan and place on a wire rack to cool gradually.
- For topping: Use 3 tablespoons of the juice from the bowl. Add yogurt and mascarpone. Whisk gently until smooth throughout.
- Break apart your favorite cookie, place in the bottom of a deep cup and pour the mixture over top, garnish with strawberries, mint and macadamia nuts.
