Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml Heavy cream (cold)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 ml Espresso (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and cooled espresso. Whisk together gently until smooth and evenly mixed.
In a separate chilled bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the cream until stiff peaks hold their shape.
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-espresso mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine, ensuring a smooth and airy consistency without deflating the whipped cream.
Taste the cream and adjust sweetness, if desired, by adding a bit more powdered sugar and gently folding it in.
Spoon or pipe the Espresso Mascarpone Cream into small serving glasses or bowls. If using as a filling or topping, prepare accordingly.
For an elegant touch, lightly dust with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving. Optional: garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of coffee grounds.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to chill and set slightly before serving.
