Featuring fresh strawberries (with a hint of brown sugar), drizzled in a flavorful balsamic sauce and topped with a lightly whipped mascarpone, this sophisticated treat is sure to please.

Yield: 6
Ingredients:
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Half of an 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons Parisian Almond Crème Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer
4 cups quartered fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Pinch ground black pepper
Grated or shredded fresh lemon peel for garnish
Instructions:

COMBINE vinegar and granulated sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook gently until reduced by half. Pour into small bowl and cool to room temperature.

PLACE mascarpone cheese and Coffee-mate in small mixer bowl; beat until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

COMBINE strawberries and brown sugar in large bowl; toss gently. Let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper; toss gently to coat. Spoon about 1/2 cup strawberries into individual bowls; drizzle with balsamic syrup. Top with large dollop of mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle with lemon peel.

Cook's Tip: Try substituting any flavor of liquid Coffee-Mate.

....and is so good..!!! I think either white or the red balsamic works, a differance of taste. As for the sugar I think it helps, if you want the little kick, especially with the fresh cracked black pepper..!! Try this it will please..!!

Easy and Delicious!

This recipe is easy and was a pleasure to make. The reduced balsamic vinegar makes a decadent glaze. The brown sugar on strawberries turns the strawberry juice into a beautiful semi-sweet strawberry glaze. Follow the directions and don't skip any ingredients! You're taste buds will be happy you stuck to the game plan! I can't wait to make this for friends! It looks great when served in Martini glasses too, with a small lemon slice on the rim of the glass!

Good recipe, but there's no reason to sweeten the balsamic before reducing--the act of reducing makes it quite sweet enough. Also no need to add brown sugar to strawberries if they're ripe already, but if they're not quite sweet, the balsamic will help them out. White balsamic vinegar is even nicer.
