Baked fruits with rosemary and mascarpone are an exquisite dessert of European cuisine that combines the natural sweetness of fruits, the aroma of spicy rosemary, and the tenderness of cream cheese. In this recipe, peaches, nectarines, and plums soaked in a caramel glaze made from butter, sugar, and lime juice are baked until soft, revealing the depth of flavor. Rosemary adds a refined spiciness that enhances the fruity freshness. After baking, the herb is removed, leaving only its subtle notes. The dish is finished with velvety mascarpone that smoothly envelops the fruits, creating a harmony of flavors. This dessert is perfect for concluding a festive dinner or for a cozy home tea time. Its simplicity makes it accessible even for novice cooks while the result consistently delights with an elegant blend of sweetness, acidity, and herbal accents.
