Blackberry, Plum and Mascarpone Dessert

This gluten free recipe is sooooo tasty. I can't tell you how mouthwatering this dessert is and I guarantee it will have you scraping the bowl and asking for more.

The balance of flavours is perfect. Thanks to Nigel Slater and his team - who introduced me to this dish (not personally I hasten to add....although I can always hope!) I now experiment using similar ingredients and have made some great tasting desserts!

Anyway - back to this recipe!

First things first - pick blackberries. I've two blackberry bushes which are laden with fruit at this time of year so I scooted over to them with colander in hand!

Next I laid out all the ingredients.

Ingredients (Makes for 2)

Handful of Blackberries
4 plums...very ripe 
Mascarpone Cheese
Brandy
Sugar

Cut the plums in half and put them in a bowl. Make sure the plums are really ripe. 

Put a heaped teaspoon of mascarpone on top of each plum

Sprinkle over the blackberries

Sprinkle 4 tsps of sugar over the fruit and cheese.

Pour over a couple of teaspoons of brandy

Put under the grill for a few minutes until the mascapone has melted and voila you have your very own dish of tastebud heaven!
