|
Mascarpone, a thick, clotted cream traditionally from Lodi in Piedmont, is imported to this country and available in Italian food stores and most cheese shops. It’s worth requesting as there is no substitute. Frangelico is a rich, smooth liquore made in Italy from hazelnuts. The combination is a very elegant dessert which is one of our mostpopular with guests at home. |
| Place nuts on a large plate and stir in the sugar. Form mascarpone into balls the size of a golf ball (1 ½ ounce) and set gently on the plate. Roll mascarpone in the nuts to cover and place 2 balls per serving on dessert plates. (The balls can be refrigerated up to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.). To serve gently pour 1 tablespoon of Frangelico on each plate. Garnish with fresh mint. Makes 8 servings. |
