Description
A delightful Japanese-inspired dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, featuring a creamy filling atop a crunchy graham cracker crust, decorated with fresh fruits.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups crushed graham crackers (for the base)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup powdered sugar

- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
