How to Make Berry and Cream Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the remaining cream mixture.
- Sprinkle half of the chopped spinach over the cream layer, then add a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layering process with three more noodles, the rest of the cream mixture, remaining spinach, and berries.
- Top with the final three lasagna noodles and any remaining cream mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
- Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
