For easy picnic transportation, keep everything separate and simply bring an ice cream scoop for serving. Instead of a cone you can also serve in a waffle cup with spoons for even more picnic sophistication.
Ingredients
8 ice cream cones
4 cups mixed berries
1 tub (2 cups) mascarpone
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod (or 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract)
1/2 cup icing sugar
Handful of assorted toppers (chopped candy canes, Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, toffee bits)
Method
In a medium sized bowl, beat together mascarpone, vanilla and icing sugar. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. To assemble scoop 1/2 cup of berries into each cone. Add a scoop (1/4 cup) of mascarpone cream. Sprinkle with your choice of topper and serve.
