Easy Mascarpone Cream
Description
The Easy Mascarpone Cream recipe begins by whipping cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until very thick peaks form, providing a sturdy base. Separately, mascarpone cheese is beaten with vanilla until smooth. The whipped cream is gently folded into the mascarpone, combining lightness with richness without overmixing to maintain volume.
This cream can be used as a topping for cakes or fresh fruit, offering a balanced sweetness and a creamy, lush texture. The inclusion of mascarpone adds a subtle tang and thick mouthfeel distinct from whipped cream alone.
To maintain the best texture, it is recommended to prepare the cream shortly before serving. While it can be refrigerated for up to two days, it may lose some thickness but retains flavor. Draining mascarpone before use can help remove excess liquid for a firmer consistency. The cream is not suitable for freezing.
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream whole, whipping, at least 30% fat, cold
- ¼ cup powdered sugar aka icing sugar; sifted
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium bowl beat the cream and sugar until thick peaks appear (very thick).
- In a medium bowl beat (with same beaters) the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture and whisk strongly until smooth. Don't over mix. Use as a topping for cakes or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
- Drain mascarpone for approximately 15 minutes to remove excess liquid for firmer texture.
- Prepare the cream just before serving to maintain thickness and texture.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to two days; thickness may decrease but flavor remains.
- Do not freeze the mascarpone cream as it affects texture negatively.
