Filling Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Berry Mascarpone Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, mixed berries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to crush the berries too much; you want to maintain some texture.
Basil Infused Syrup Preparation

Make the Basil Infused Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh basil leaves, water, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain the syrup into a jar and discard the basil leaves.
