Grilled Catfish Tacos

  5.0 – 1 reviews  • Fish

When I bring this fruit tart to events, I constantly get requests for the recipe. Everyone continues to request more as a result of the velvety richness the mascarpone cheese adds. This dessert is not only delicious but also highly eye-catching because to the fresh fruit’s brilliant colors. Any fruit can be used as the tart’s garnish.

This is a delicious recipe! My family loved it. The flavor was great. Even my 8 year old daughter loved it (the crema was a bit spicy for her, but everything else she loved). We will definitely be making this again!
