Described as a "stellar dessert just waiting to happen," the new product offers a sweet new way to enjoy fresh Wisconsin cheese. Crave Brothers Chocolate Mascarpone is a velvety cheese that combines fresh sweet cream from the Crave Brothers Farm with an alcohol-free chocolate Irish crème. The result is a creamy chocolate spread with notes of Irish cream liqueur. This uniquely sweet flavor profile makes the cheese perfect for dessert cheese boards or as an indulgent addition to desserts. For instance, Crave Brothers suggests using the Chocolate Mascarpone to make cheesecakes, cannolis, or even a layered trifle.
