Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 4 ounces Mascarpone cheese (cold)
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill a mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes prior to starting. Cold equipment helps achieve a better whip.
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using the electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed first to combine the ingredients without splattering. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high.
Continue beating the mixture until you see medium to stiff peaks form. This usually takes 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can cause the mixture to become grainy or turn into butter.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sweetness or vanilla if needed by gently folding in small amounts of powdered sugar or vanilla extract.
Once ready, use the mascarpone-stabilized whipped cream immediately or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It will maintain its shape and texture longer than regular whipped cream.
