In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to mix.
In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream and beat it using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese using a spatula. Do this gently to maintain the lightness of the whipped cream.
Once combined, sift the powdered erythritol over the mascarpone mixture and continue to fold it in until well incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest if using. Gently stir to combine the flavors evenly throughout the cream.
Chill the mascarpone cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Serve the sugar-free mascarpone cream as a topping for cakes, pancakes, or enjoy it with fresh berries. It can also be used as a filling for pastries or layered parfaits.
