Roasted Broccoli and Mushrooms

Roasted Broccoli and Mushrooms

Roasted Broccoli and Mushrooms are a yummy combination of meaty mushrooms and tender, juicy broccoli.

Symphony of Flavors

Broccoli
Roasted broccoli is a game-changer. The high heat transforms those crisp green florets into caramelized bites of pure bliss. The natural sugars in broccoli intensify, creating a sweet and nutty flavor. Plus, roasting enhances its texture, giving you that perfect balance of tender and slightly crispy. Broccoli is high in many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, and potassium: Health Benefits of Broccoli.

Mushrooms
As mushrooms roast, their moisture content reduces, resulting in a meaty, chewy texture. The earthy undertones become more pronounced, complementing the sweetness of the broccoli. Mushrooms are also a rich source of antioxidants and essential nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to any dish: Health Benefits of Mushrooms.

Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Mascarpone cream: heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Biscoff biscuits/cookies and cookie butter. Did you know that the Biscoff brand, and its parent company Lotus, began in a bakery in Lembeke, Belgium, in 1932? Lotus is still headquartered in the small town, and is run by the same family.

Ingredients

How to make this Recipe:

  1. Prepare Mascarpone Cream

    In a medium bowl, combine whipping cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Whip into soft peaks, then add mascarpone and mix to combine. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream into four serving glasses, roughly smoothing the top.

  2. Dip Biscuits into the Coffee

    One at a time, dip four biscuits into the coffee, then place on top of mascarpone mixture in each glass. If needed, snap the cookies to fit before you dip them.

  3. Spread the Cookie Butter

    Spread the cookie butter onto four more biscuits and place these on top of the other cookies in the glasses. If needed, snap the cookies to fit.

  4. Add another layer

    Then, add another layer of mascarpone cream and repeat with a layer of coffee-soaked biscuits and cookie buttered biscuits.

  5. Finish and Enjoy

    Finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream. Finally, refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or overnight) to set, this allows the biscuits to soften then dust the tops with cocoa powder to serve.
