The fruity filling is delicious with the creamy mascarpone cheese and the sweetness of the powdered sugar. This is one of our summer appetizer recipes because fresh berries are very popular at that time of the year and these light, refreshing morsels are great in the springtime or summer. Feel free to change the berries. You can use strawberries if you like or a different kind of berry, depending what is in season and what is available.

Use fresh berries because thawed ones are a bit mushy and better suited to other recipes. Sweet snacks make delicious appetizers and some people actually prefer starting the meal with a sweet treat. Alternatively, these are nice after dinner too. If you are looking for fancy appetizer recipes, these pastry fruit dessert tarts are ideal.
