Thick, rich, mascarpone tastes of fresh cream with a subtle butteriness. It pairs perfectly with apple-and-pear-like quince, whose delicate floral aroma is brought out by gentle poaching in spiced Riesling wine. A drizzle of caramel lends a bittersweet flavor and crushed gingersnaps add texture to this simple, but very elegant, dessert.
