Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece or teaspoon Vanilla bean or vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier mixing.
If using a vanilla bean, slice it lengthwise and scrape the seeds using the back of a knife. If using vanilla extract, measure out 1 teaspoon.
In another bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract). Whip the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Be cautious not to overwhip the cream as it can turn grainy.
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the mascarpone cheese a little at a time. Use a spatula to incorporate the two mixtures, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and gently fold it in.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if desired, by adding more sugar and folding it in until dissolved.
Chill the Vanilla Mascarpone Cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a topping for cakes, pies, or fresh fruit, or use it as a layer in trifles and other desserts. Enjoy!
