Ricotta Mascapone Mousse With Balsamic Strawberries

"I found this recipe on another site and will give credit to a Joanne from Kaneohe, HI. @ mixingbowl.com. I did change it here to see the values with Splenda instead of sugar as per her original recipe. At this moment, I have not made it yet but want to archive it here for future cravings and reference. I have had something similar to this when I was at my first/only stay at a Bed and Breakfast but it was fresh PEARS!!!. It actually was just sliced pears with balsamic vinegar drizzled on it. Anyways, I have craved these flavors together ever since. Servings and times to prepare are approximate estimations at this time. The two hour prep time is for the refrigeration of the cheese mixture."

  • Prep strawberries and place in another bowl.

I live and work in So. Cal. I'm so happy that I found The 'Zaar community because it has done nothing but improve the way I cook and entertain. Thank you everyone!!!! Passions: cooking and trying new recipes, planning vacations....if I ever take one, Karaoke, teaching, reading, collecting recipes on the 'Zaar. My little motto...... "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming.....WOW, What A Ride!!!!"
