Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 30 g Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Almond extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy to ensure there are no lumps.
2. In a separate bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Gradually add the erythritol to the whipped cream, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
5. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
6. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding a small amount of erythritol if needed.
7. Spoon the mascarpone cream into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.
8. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
