Lovely for a winter fruit dish, with ricotta or heavy cream. The second time I made this I used cardamom pods; fine, but not as special as using just seeds.

I serve this with the mascarpone piped into the room temp reconstituted Turkish apricots, sprinkled with chopped pistachios. I've also made variations using ingredients like Grand Marnier, vanilla bean, almonds. Super easy and popular party food for me.

Consider adding some toasted slivered almonds atop the mascarpone?
