Two words. Sunday brunch. The perfect meal that’s not to early, and not too late. You can recover from the festivities of Saturday night and still make it on time. Plus mimosas…yes please! I always look forward to a good brunch with the hubs, out with our friends, or family. Who says you can’t sweep away the cobwebs of the week with eggs, crispy bacon, and these Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Berry Bowls!

Trio of Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Berry Bowls

I had Sunday brunch with some lady friends yesterday. My girlfriend ordered this huge bowl of ripe summer berries as a side. That was complete inspiration for this dish. Her bowl had a huge dollop of whipped cream. I had some leftover mascarpone in the fridge, so I subbed that for the whipped cream. I love the creamy texture of mascarpone. It’s tasty, and the perfect low carb topping for a bowl of mixed berries.

The Berries

These little beauties are perfect for a Sunday brunch or the occasional weekend treat.  I made sure to include the lower carb berries – blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. I excluded blueberries which come in at 7 net carbs per 2 ounces. The berry combo in this dish have 3.5 net carbs per 2 ounces of berries.

The Cheese

 

Mascarpone is a wonderful light and creamy cheese. Most people think mascarpone…tiramisu. But it shines with these mixed berries. My favorite brand is BelGioioso. It has zero carbs per serving and is rich and tasty. The cheese combined with vanilla bean and a little Truvia (or sweetener of your choice) lends a delicate and not overly sweet touch of delight to this dish.
