Mascarpone Fruit Filled Pizzelle Cups

Ingredients
  

Pizzelle - Italian Waffle Cookies

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter melted (1/4lb)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon anise seed or extract optional
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Marscapone cream

  • 8 ounce container mascarpone cream
  • zest of one lemon
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Seasonal fresh berries for topping.

Instructions
 

Pizzelle

  • Beat eggs and sugar.
  • Add cooled, melted butter, vanilla, and anise.
  • Add flour and baking powder to egg mixture.
  • Batter will be stiff enough to be dropped by spoon.
  • Heat Pizzelle baker and brush a little butter or oil on plates. I find this helps so it doesn't stick.
  • Put a heaping teaspoon of batter in the center of the mold for each pizzelle. Close baker and cook for approximately 30 seconds.
  • Open baker and remove pizzelle on at a time with a spatula.
  • To form bowl, place over an upside down bowl for about a minute until it holds its shape. Place on a cooling rack.
  • For a traditional cookie, place flat on cooling rack until crisp.
  • May be stored in an air tight container.

Marscapone cream

  • Whip marscapone cream and lemon zest until smooth. Set aside in a large bowl.
  • In a clean bowl, whip whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks.
  • Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.

To serve

  • Spoon or pipe mascarpone cream into bowls and top with berries.
  • Serve immediately.
