Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
- 100 grams Berries or cookies (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Beat using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate large mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and whip it using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three parts. Use a silicone spatula and make slow, sweeping motions to combine without deflating the whipped cream.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using) to the mixture, and gently fold until fully incorporated.
Spoon the mascarpone cream into serving bowls, glasses, or ramekins. Optionally, layer with berries, crushed cookies, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the mascarpone creams for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving. Serve cold and garnish with extra berries or cookie crumbles, if desired.
