I’ve been tortured and tantalized for months now with photos and videos of Potato Stacks on Pinterest and Facebook. I was having serious potato envy. I was like, “I want I want I want!!” And finally, I took the leap. Cheesy Au Gratin Potato Stacks. Yum.

I could hardly believe my eyes as I turned the pages of that month’s Bon Appétit and saw this recipe, Polenta Budino with Plum Marmellata, from Mario Batali in the R.S.V.P. section. A dessert from the famed Babbo in New York City. Now, I don’t know about you, but I may never have a chance to eat at Babbo. But this? This dessert? I can make, and so can you!

If there was ever a frugal “cheat” of a dessert, Profiteroles, or Cream Puffs, as they are often called when filled like this, have to be it. Easy to make, requiring no special equipment, although a piping bag & tip is nice. Cream Puffs are inexpensive and can be partially made ahead. These Cream Puffs with Mascarpone Filling & Blueberry Compote are a fabulous dessert! What more could one want?

I’ve seen various recipes and methods for making a Homemade Mascarpone Cheese, and finally settled on a method that’s not only easy but tastes fabulous. I was so excited to use my Homemade Mascarpone Cheese when I made this Epic Pear Almond Granola French Toast last week…

I just recently made my Aunt Mary’s Angel Food Cake to take over to a dinner party, and wanted to make a Mascarpone Filling. It’s the perfect thing when whipping cream seems a little light and boring, and anything else can seem too heavy. But in a small town in South Dakota, Mascarpone is nowhere to be found. Hence, my Fake or “Mock” Mascarpone Filling.
