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.
