ITALIAN TORTA WITH MASCARPONE, GORGONZOLA, AND WALNUTS
This savory spread is served in the form of a cake and served at Christmas and New Year's parties in Italy. It's decadent spread on bread or crackers. It is usually served with mostarda di frutta (candied fruit in a spicy, sweet syrup). If you can't find that, serve with crisp pears and honey. If you like, you can use sprigs of rosemary, some cinnamon bark, or sticks to decorate a forest scene on the top.

Steps:
- In a bowl stir the honey with mascarpone. Then in a very small bowl-shaped dish spray the sides with cooking spray (any size just small and a little deep, even a small but deep mixing bowl will work. I sometimes use my cereal bowl.). Then line with saran wrap covering all sides, be sure to push the saran wrap into all corners. Spray again with cooking spray. Line the sides and bottom with mascarpone mixture, about ¼" thick. Cut gorgonzola into slices about ¼" thick and line the bottom with slices. Then layer ¼" mascarpone, then more gorgonzola. Keep layering until you reach the top. Top layer should be mascarpone. Tightly tightly tightly seal with saran wrap, foil, etc. Best to refrigerate for a few hours until mascarpone is hardened. To serve it just tip it over onto a serving plate and remove the saran wrap (hopefully the cooking spray made it easy to remove). Push crushed walnuts on sides and top to cover up the mess. Serve with your favorite crackers. You will be a HUGE HIT at any gathering with this yummy treat. If anyone makes this please send me an email ( [email protected]) to let me know how it turned out...and if you'd do anything different. Thanks!Kristina
