For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur to the berry mixture. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can try broiling the shortcakes for a very short period, but watch them carefully to prevent burning. Feel free to substitute other berries like raspberries or blueberries based on your preference and availability. The mascarpone mixture can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the strawberries, blackberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and orange juice. Ensure the berries are well coated. (5 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, allowing the berries to macerate and release their juices, ideally for 2 hours, or even overnight for a more intense flavor. (2 hours - Overnight)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
04
StepDivide the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top of each shortcake half, creating a generous layer. (5 minutes)
05
StepSprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the mascarpone on each shortcake half, ensuring a consistent layer for proper caramelization. (2 minutes)
06
StepUsing a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar on top of each shortcake, holding the flame at a safe distance and moving it evenly across the surface until golden brown and bubbly. (20-30 seconds per shortcake)
07
StepPlace each bruleed shortcake in a shallow bowl and spoon the macerated berries and their accumulated juices around it. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
