Mascarpone Whipped Cream
This is homemade whipped cream to the next level! You've tried Tiramisu and Italian cheesecake. This is much easier and can be just as decadent. Simply top with fresh fruit or a more elegant grilled peaches and wine poached cherries.

Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream chilled
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese chilled
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place heavy whipping cream in a chilled metal bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix with electric mixer on high speed until it forms soft peaks. No more than 2-3 minutes.
- Fold mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream and give it a quick whip until you get stiff peaks. No more than a minute or so. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Tip: remove mascarpone cheese out of the fridge a few minutes before using so it softens but is still chilled. (Adjust timing depending on your house temperature.) Don’t let mascarpone get too warm and don’t overbeat it.
