2. Chocolate Mascarpone Dip With Berries
For the ultimate crowd-pleaser, serve chilled chocolate mascarpone topped with fresh berries. Use Palmiers as dippers or arrange everything like a deconstructed fruit tart. It’s rich, creamy, and perfect for sharing. Sugar Bowl Bakery Madeleines are yummy with this as well!

8 oz BelGioioso Chocolate Mascarpone

½ cup mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
