Whipped Mascarpone

Unexpected visitors, almost nothing in the fridge, weather too hot to even think of baking something without unwanted combustion - that's what I have to deal with sometimes. 
What the heck am I supposed to make in almost no time? Well, now my always present mascarpone doesn't seem as a bad idea, does it? This will take less than ten minutes so no need to worry. Improvisation is sometimes the best thing to do. Why make some elaborate stuff when a simple thing can be equally satisfying?

You'll need (4 servings):
  • 500g mascarpone
  • 8 table spoons rice syrup
  • 15 mashed strawberries plus some for decoration
  • 4 small biscuits or one big or something like that
  • some fresh basil
1) Using a hand mixer whip the mascarpone with syrup (you can add more if you like sweeter stuff but I avoided it since it was too hot for anything like that).
2) Mash your strawberries or cut them into small pieces. Also cut a couple of basil leaves and mix it all in the mascarpone. I somehow like strawberry/basil combo lately.
3) Now - the layering.  Break the biscuit(s) into pieces and put it at the bottom of a glass. Add a strawberry if you want. Top it with the mascarpone mix. Decorate with more strawberries and basil leaves.
