Mascarpone with Cookie Dippers - ★Cooking Recipes★

I like to scent this dipping cream with elderflower cordial, a fragrant concentrate that is usually diluted with water, soda or apple juice for a refreshing drink. Look for it in the water section of your grocery store. If elderflower cordial is unavailable, substitute with blackcurrant cordial or fresh raspberry sauce.

Puff Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

Mascarpone Cream
