Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In the chilled mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and use a spatula to gently stir and soften it.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the granulated sugar.
Step 4
Using the chilled beaters, start whipping the heavy cream and sugar mixture at medium speed until it begins to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract to the thickening cream while continuing to whip.
Step 6
Once the cream has started to form soft peaks, gradually add the softened mascarpone cheese a little at a time.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once ready, transfer the mascarpone cream to a serving bowl or use immediately as a filling or topping for desserts.
Step 9
If not using immediately, cover the cream with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
