Making Mascarpone Cream - 10 minutes

Make sure the cream is very cold, as cold cream whips best.

Whip the cream until it is firm, but not too firm.

Add the mascarpone with 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and optionally 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can adjust the sugar to your taste.

Mix until smooth, making sure to stir as little as possible since over-mixing can make the mascarpone watery.

You can now use the mascarpone cream to serve with cakes and pastries. It is firm enough to use in a piping bag with a nozzle for beautiful swirls. Enjoy!

Tips!

How long can you store mascarpone cream?

You can store mascarpone cream in the fridge for up to 3 days.

My mascarpone cream is too thin, why is that?

Mascarpone becomes watery when whipped, so it's best to whip it as little as possible.
