Receta Two Ingredient Mascarpone Dip
A few weekends ago, Ryan and I had a handful of our friends over for a game night. Before it was game time, we all hung out in the kitchen, drinking wine and eating appetizers.
I put out a display of various cheeses with bread, crackers, fresh fruit, olives and more. It was your typical cheese spread with the exception of one thing. A mascarpone and orange marmalade dip!
The dip came together without too much thought and only used two ingredients, so I was shocked when everyone raved about it! I was inspired to make the dip by the TV show Chopped. Many of the chefs gravitate toward mascarpone as a main ingredient in the dessert round of the chef competition show and they always come up with the most delicious looking desserts that incorporate the creamy cheese.
Orange Mascarpone Dip
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup mascarpone
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
Directions:
Combine mascarpone and orange marmalade and stir together until everything is adequately combined.
Spread it on top of warm French bread or use it as a dip for fresh fruit or cinnamon sugar pita chips.
Note: You may want to double or triple this recipe if you are serving a group.
I told you it was easy!
This morning, I made the dip again and used it as somewhat of a cream cheese substitute and spread it on top of a toasted whole wheat English muffin.
I also had a banana on the side.
Not a bad way to kick off a Wednesday!
Question of the Morning
What is your favorite kind of dip?
My favorites include guacamole, seven layer dip or this honey peanut apple dip my mom makes on occasion. Yum!
