Mascarpone Mousse with Pound Cake and Berries

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup Sugar

1. 3 egg yolks

1. 1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone Cheese

1. 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream

1. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Whisk Sugar and egg yolks to blend in large metal bowl. Set over pan of barely simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water); whisk constantly until mixture thickens and thermometer registers 160 °F, about 6 minutes. Place bowl over large bowl filled with ice; continue whisking until zabaglione cools (Light foamy custard-like dessert served hot or chilled), about 3 minutes.

Whisk mascarpone to loosen in another large bowl; in 3 additions, foldin zabaglione. Whip cream, vanilla, and cinnamon in small bowl until soft peaks form; fold into zabaglione.

Arrange 4 strips in each of 6 goblets. Sprinkle a few raspberries over; top with 1/2 cup mousse. Sprinkle remaining raspberries over. Cover; chill 1 hour or overnight.
