Dairy (Mascarpone cheese)

Ingredients

  • 6 large stroopwafels
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the stroopwafel sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture on one side of each stroopwafel. Sandwich two stroopwafels together with the cream filling in between, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Cut each sandwich diagonally into two triangles and arrange on a serving plate.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine all the fresh fruit: strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, and kiwi. Gently toss with lemon zest and honey.
  5. Serve the stroopwafel sandwiches alongside the fresh fruit salad, garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Chef’s Insight

To enhance the aroma, allow the stroopwafels to sit for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich to let the caramel syrup inside soften.

Notes

This recipe is suitable for a standard diet and is easy to prepare.

Cultural or Historical Background
