I don’t know if the English version of the Saveurs magazine has the same recipes as the French version, but the June French issue has some delicious recipes. I’ve never had trifle before and maybe this is not authentic but it is how I like my desserts; fresh, un-cakey and easy. This one’s for you Frugal 🙂
Mini Strawberry Trifles
2 cups strawberries, stemmed and diced
2/3 cup mascarpone
1/3 cup cream
3 tbsp sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds removed and hull discarded
18 small shortbread cookies
Mix the mascarpone, cream, sugar and vanilla seeds together. Set aside.
Crumble 3 cookies each, in the bottom of 6 dessert glasses. Top with a little of the mascarpone cream, then divide the strawberries among the glasses. Top with the rest of the mascarpone cream and refrigerate or serve.
They do look good and fresh! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
You are welcome Carine
What pretty little trifles!
Thank you Tessa.
Adorable! What a lovely idea for summer dining!
These are gariguette strawberries. Very nice!
Those looks really delicious and pretty for summer. I haven’t received my June issue of ‘Saveur’ yet….can’t wait to dive in and see where in the culinary world they will take us.
Thank you Sarah. Let me know if the American edition is the same as the French. I’ll be trying several of the recipes for June.
I think that the American Saveur and the French Saveurs are two different magazines, actually . . . I could be wrong about this, but I could have sworn they were different entities . . .
According to egullet, they used to have the same parent company, but only for the first year. The split is reflected in the name (Saveur vs. Saveurs). Saveur is owned by a Floridian publisher, with an editorial team in New York. Whereas Saveurs is put out by a Canadian publisher with the editorial team in Paris.
Thanks Daisy for the research.
It’s the nutty grad student in me. Must. Look. Stuff. Up! Gargh!
I like these kind of desserts and they look very nice on your blue-flowered cloth.
Thank you Sharyn
Ahha! A dessert! In fairness – these look particularly good and I really would love one… Only you can pour one into another and make a super-trifle because I’m in need of a little more dessert than that… Lovely, Rosemary.
Thank you Frugal. But you won’t need more than that dessert after the entree, main course, salad and cheese 🙂
Well no, I suppose I wouldn’t 😀
These trifles look amazing. So simple, yet so delicious! Sometimes, when the ingredients are good, you just need to let them shine. I like the use of mascarpone too instead of whipped cream. Like deconstructed cheesecake!
Whipped cream is good too 🙂
Very true. It’s finally strawberry season here, so I just got a nice basket of Hudson Valley ones. I may eat them all before I get around to assembling anything!
I love desserts that let the berries shine without too much fuss. This looks wonderful.
Thank you Greg.
Oooooooh, this looks so yummy! Tomorrow I’ll buy some strawberrys and mascarpone, I want to try it! Yummy! Looks mouth-watering! O_O ♥ Thank you very much for sharing this little recipe with us! Cheerio!
You are welcome.
These look cute! I love individual desserts!
Thank you Kat.
