Okayyy… this mascarpone cream (or frosting) is truly a game-changer!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (cold)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add cold mascarpone cheese and heavy cream.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Continue beating until soft, creamy peaks form.
  5. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts.

TIPS

  • Always use cold ingredients for best results.
  • Do not overbeat, or the cream may become grainy.
  • Chill the frosting for 15–20 minutes before piping for sharper designs.
  • This frosting pairs beautifully with chocolate, vanilla, fruit, and sponge cakes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
