Top on your favourite M&M dessert, such as Apple Pie. The combination of mascarpone and whipping cream provides a soft and supple background to other flavours – for a tangy version, try adding the zest of 1 lemon or orange, along with 3 tbsp (45 mL) frozen orange juice or lemonade from concentrate, plus 2 tbsp (30 mL) of honey to the cream, instead of the maple syrup.
