Fruit and Mascarpone Italian Cheesecake/Pie

I created this pie in my Advanced Food Class in college...It is light,delicious, and very simple to make! You can use whatever sliced fruit you like as a topping. During the holidays I use kiwi and strawberry (red and green!) and shape the kiwi into a christmas tree in the middle and surround the rest of the pie with sliced strawberries! :) Enjoy!
