Mascarpone mousse or crema al Mascarpone is a traditional dessert that's usually prepared without cooking. The sweet and creamy Mascarpone cheese should be softened and brought to room temperature. It is mixed with beaten egg yolks and sugar, while beaten egg whites are folded in the mixture to finish the dessert. If desired, a bit of rum can be added to the mixture to enrich the flavors. Once prepared, mousse al Mascarpone cna be enjoyed as it is or refrigerated for a while before serving. A dusting of cocoa adds a nice visual appeal, as well as fresh berries.
