So many interesting textures, and then all the different bright, sweet, tangy flavors. On top of that, it’s eye-popping. It’s easy to find raspberries in the grocery store even as late as Christmas time, making this color combination a nice pick for the upcoming holidays.

♣

The fruit, cheese, and mint rest on a bed of whipped cream, mascarpone, and yogurt. It seems intriguingly both light and rich at the same time. The flavors remain distinct, and play off of one another as you experience them: the raspberries so tart and aloof, the feta so robust, and cool assertiveness of the mint. Your unsuspecting taste buds will be exhilarated, wanting to rush in every direction at once.

The best way to eat this dish is to share it with three of your best friends and four spoons. You can, however, move servings to individual plates, or you can make four individual servings.

What You’ll Need to Serve 4

How to Do It

1. Add the confectioner’s sugar and lemon to the raspberries, and stir gently.
2. Whisk cream, mascarpone, and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in yogurt, then 1 tsp olive oil.
3. To assemble the dish, spread the whipped mixture into a large, flat, soup bowl (or onto small dinner plate). Then, make a doughnut-shaped depression in the whipped mixture – like a mote – about half the diameter of the bowl. (You can refrigerate everything at this point and continue later, if need be.) Spoon the berries and their juice into the depression. Strategically place mint leaves. Optionally, sprinkle the remaining tsp oil over the dish. Serve immediately.

Notes:

• The feta should be hard-to-medium, not very crumbly, and not made from cow’s milk.
• It’s OK for some – but not the majority – of the berries to get crushed as you’re mixing them with the sugar.
• Start the whip on medium speed, increasing to high only after the ingredients are well blended.
• You could stretch the dessert serving size to six. The servings would look small, but they’re so rich and so intensely flavored, that they’d still be delightful.

Je traduisais cette recette de Dorian Cuisine. Dorian’s recipe uses hulled and halved (or quartered) strawberries. This recipe is as flexible as Dorian is amazing: you could use nearly any kind of berry – the more tart and intense, the better.
