2 cups Marscapone Cheese
1 cup Strawberries>BR> 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
3 tbsp. Milk
2 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
2 tbsp. Honey

2. Shred a little bit of the lemon rind, and stir it into the marscapone mixture.

Variations:

You can use any other berries along with the strawberries, or any other fruit.
You can also replace the honey/vinegar sauce (it may sound a little strange, but really it's delicious!) with any other fruit sauce you choose.

Even though this dessert can be made in about 10 minutes, do not underestimate its elegance... so, it's definitely the moment for crystal or glass serving dishes which will show off the beautiful layers of creamy marscapone and strawberries!
