This Lemon Mascarpone Cream Pie is full of lovely lemon flavor! It’s light and perfect for summer! Plus, I love the addition of the smooth and creamy mascarpone cheese!
I hope everyone enjoy the Independence Day holiday yesterday. The hubs was off work both Monday and Tuesday and while I had some things to do, we did get to enjoy some nice time with friends and even saw fireworks both nights.
We’ve had more rain in the last week or so than we’ve had in a long time, so getting outside was tricky. Fortunately, we got out on the lake at about midday Monday and didn’t have any more rain for the rest of the day. The longest stretch of pretty weather all weekend I think. It was really nice to relax a bit.
And then of course there’s the good food. I’ve been quite healthy lately, but I gave myself a bit of a break and enjoyed some tasty treats. This pie would have been great to have on hand too, but it was made a few weeks ago. Time to make it again I guess!
