Instructions

Combine all of the berries and mint in a large bowl.

Make the honey lemon syrup by whisking together the lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey in a small container.

Pour the honey lemon syrup over the berries and toss gently to combine.

Using an electric hand mixer (or even a stand mixer) and a separate bowl, whip together the heavy cream, mascarpone, honey, and salt until it forms soft peaks.

Serve the berries with some mascarpone cream on top, and garnish with more lemon zest and mint, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Berry Selection Perfection 🫐
Choose berries at peak ripeness by selecting plump, deeply colored fruits with no signs of mushiness or mold for the most vibrant flavor and texture.
Mascarpone Whipping Magic 🥄
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help the mascarpone and heavy cream whip up faster and achieve a more stable, fluffy consistency.
Mint Flavor Intensifier 🌿
Gently bruise fresh mint leaves between your fingers before chopping to release their essential oils and maximize their aromatic impact in the honey lemon syrup.
Syrup Balancing Act 🍯
Taste and adjust your honey lemon syrup before mixing with berries, ensuring a perfect balance between sweetness and citrus brightness by adding small amounts of honey or lemon juice.
Cream Stability Trick 🥛
Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to your whipped cream mixture to help stabilize the foam and prevent separation, creating a smoother and more luxurious texture.
