Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by chilling a mixing bowl and the beaters of a hand mixer or stand mixer in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This helps in whipping the cream more effectively.
In the chilled mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and use a spatula to gently stir and soften it.
In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the granulated sugar.
Using the chilled beaters, start whipping the heavy cream and sugar mixture at medium speed until it begins to thicken slightly.
Add the vanilla extract to the thickening cream while continuing to whip.
Once the cream has started to form soft peaks, gradually add the softened mascarpone cheese a little at a time.
Increase the speed of the mixer to high and continue to whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks. Be cautious not to over-whip as it can cause the cream to become grainy.
Once ready, transfer the mascarpone cream to a serving bowl or use immediately as a filling or topping for desserts.
If not using immediately, cover the cream with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
