the Painted Apron

4 years ago

Heartfelt prayers and prayers for Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas and anyone in harm’s way as they are impacted by Hurricane Ian, as it makes it’s way north. Thank you to everyone for being concerned about our coastal home, we were fortunate not to be in the path this time, and it is heartbreaking to see and hear about all the loss and damage… ❤️

On a much happier note…

This just might be the best dessert ever…

AND

It only takes ONE MINUTE to make!!!

You are about to become a rock star!

All you need are 3 simple ingredients

Mascarpone cheese, caramel sauce and toffee bits

You can make this in a bowl

but it gets it’s wow from serving it in an individual glass

I used martini glasses

but you can use a wine glass or any stemmed glass,

a pretty tea cup or ramekin

Use 2 spoons to put the mascarpone in the glass

Make some ridges and dents in the creamy cheese with a fork

and then drizzle with caramel

Top with toffee bits and add a little more caramel

Serve it with crisp apple slices and small cookies for dipping

A dainty spoon is nice too because trust me,

you will want to spoon this directly into your mouth!

Make 1 or as many as you need!

Make ahead and refrigerate

Perfect for buffets or seated dinners

Variations:

Chocolate syrup with chopped peanuts, apple slices and cookie dippers

Raspberry syrup and white chocolate chips, with fresh raspberries and cookie dippers

Butterscotch syrup with butterscotch chips, with apples and cookie dippers

Chocolate syrup with chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Nutter Butter cookie dippers

Butterscotch syrup with chopped Butterfinger candies and vanilla wafer cookies

Make it in a large shallow dish for multiple servings and put the dish on a platter with a variety of fruit and cookie dippers

As you can see, the possibilities are endless!

Create your own combo!

Enjoy!!
