Raspberry-Mascarpone Whip Brownie Parfaits recipe

Tried and tested and it's all thumbs up .

ingredient:

2 cups brownie cut chunks
18oz frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
Zest of an orange
8oz mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream"
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cut your favorite brownies - either made from a box or homemade, into cubes. Set aside.

Combine the raspberries, orange zest, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Stir until well-mixed, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. (I use powdered sugar because I like that you don't have any accidental sugar granules that don't dissolve, but it's not necessary.) Beat the mascarpone mixture with an electric mixer until medium-firm peaks form.To assemble, place a few brownie chunks in the bottom of dessert cups (small juice glasses work well for this). Top the brownies with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture, then with about 3 tablespoons of raspberries. Repeat until all the elements have been evenly divided among the cups.
