Fresh Fruit with Honey Vanilla Mascarpone

 




FRESH FRUIT WITH HONEY VANILLA MASCARPONE

The last thing you want to do on Valentine's Day is weigh your loved one down with too heavy of a dessert. We love the freshness and lightness of this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten.
We also like the fact that vanillla is a known aphrodisiac.
