Lemon Mascarpone Berry Pots

This is the sort of pudding that looks elegant while asking very little of the cook. The mascarpone stays lush and creamy, the lemon keeps it from feeling too sweet, and the strawberries give everything a soft, summery edge. It is ideal when you want something chilled and pretty rather than heavy.

Cook's tip
If the mascarpone is very firm from the fridge, let it stand for 10 minutes before stirring so it loosens without splitting.
