Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 150 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Start by allowing the low-fat cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easy blending.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese with the low-fat Greek yogurt.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to mix at a low speed to prevent powder from scattering.
Once the sugar is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Mix again until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more powdered sugar, keeping in mind the low-fat goal.
Chill the mascarpone cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve as a topping for desserts, fruits, or use it as a base for other recipes requiring mascarpone cream.
