Berry Sweet Summer: My Friday Dessert + Sip Pairing 🍓🍷

Fridays in July just *feel* like they need dessert. But let’s keep it light, easy, and delicious — without turning on the oven. 💁‍♀️

So today I’m sharing my favorite no-bake berry dessert and what I love to sip with it (spoiler: there’s wine involved). You can whip this up last minute or prep it earlier and let the flavors chill together like besties at the pool. ☀️

🍓 No-Bake Berry Mascarpone Cups

These are *so* simple and feel fancy — like something you’d order at a bistro but better because they’re in your fridge ready to go.

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries
  • Crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies

Whip the mascarpone with honey and vanilla. Layer crushed cookies, cream mixture, and berries in Tupperware prep cups or fancy glasses if you’re feeling it. Chill until ready to serve.

🍷 Wine Pairing of the Week

My top pick? Boisset’s DeLoach Pinot Noir Rosé. It’s juicy and fresh with just enough zing to complement those berries without overpowering the whole vibe.

Pour yourself a glass, grab a spoon, and enjoy the start of your weekend the *Trin way* — cozy, a little indulgent, and super simple. ✨

🛠️ Tools That Make It Easier

  • Pampered Chef Whipped Cream Maker – for fluffing the mascarpone like a dream
  • Mini Measure-All Cup – perfect for honey or sticky add-ins
  • Tupperware Prep Bowls – easy to store + serve dessert from

Tag me if you try this one! Bonus points for a cute spoon + wine glass shot. 😉
