Description
A quick dessert to use up those small bits of leftover ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Mascarpone Cheese
- ¼ teaspoons Real Vanilla Extract
- 2 ounces, fluid Espresso Or Very Strong Coffee, Cooled, Divided
- 2 slices Whole Grain Bread
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Butter Or Coconut Oil
- ⅛ teaspoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 8 whole Medium Strawberries, Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dark Chocolate Shavings
Preparation
In a small bowl stir together mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of the cooled espresso. Place mixture in the refrigerator while you prepare the toast.
Spread bread slices with coconut butter or oil and toast until golden brown. Allow toast to cool slightly for a few minutes. Brush cooled toast with remaining espresso, applying two to three layers of brushed espresso allowing it to soak into the bread.
Spread mascarpone mixture evenly across toast and dust with cocoa powder. Layer strawberry slices on toast, sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings and enjoy.
Note: Substitute any in-season fruit for the strawberries.
