Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 cup blackberries
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Hull and slice the strawberries if needed.

Step 3

In a large bowl, gently toss all the berries together with the granulated sugar until evenly coated. Spread them evenly in a shallow, oven-safe gratin or casserole dish.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the mascarpone mixture evenly over the berries, spreading it out gently with a spatula if necessary to cover all the fruit.

Step 6

Place the dish under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling. Watch it closely to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
