Honey Vanilla Mascarpone Dip for Fruits or Berries

Submitted by Chicagoland Chef du Jour

"WOW, this is tasty. I reminds me of a rich vanilla ice cream. The vanilla bean specks are such a nice touch. You can serve it thick as a dip for firmer fruits or thin to desired consistency as a topping for berries. Great for brunch! This is from Foodnetwork.com courtesy of Ina Garten."
