With lush summer fruit abounding, switch it up. Serve berries or sliced fruit with mascarpone.

You can serve the fruit simply on a plate, topped with mascarpone and a mint leaf for garnish. Or, get festive with a parfait or sundae dish, layered with pistachio nuts, chocolate chips or other favorite garnishes.

A side of biscotti, tuiles or rolled wafer cookies (flutes) are always welcome.

• Learn about mascarpone—called “Italian cream cheese” but so much better! You’ll also discover other fresh cheeses.
