Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, about 3-4 minutes on high speed.
Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated and light.
Step 4: Carefully fold in 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, and 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mixing just until berries are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving with fresh fruit or cookies.
