Equipment
- Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese softened slightly
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- Pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Add the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, and optional salt to a large bowl or standing mixer fitter with a whisk attachment.
- Whipped the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes on medium speed (more if using a hand held mixer or mixing by hand).
- The whipped cream should thicken up, and start to form lines in the whipped cream that linger when mixed.
- Once very soft peaks form, turn off the mixer and add in the softened mascarpone cheese.
- Start mixing on the lowest setting until it starts to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to make sure it is totally incorporated. Mix slowly and be carefully not to over mix or it can curdle or break. You can even use a hand help whisk to whisk in the mascarpone.
- Once stiff peaks form and whipped cream is thick enough to hold it shape, stop mixing. It’s ready to serve with your favorite dessert!
Notes
- Using a cold bowl can help whip up the whipped cream. Chill it by placing it in the refrigerator or freezer for an hour before whipping.
- Do not overmix! This is the most important part, getting the mascarpone cheese mixed in without overbeating the whipped cream. Be gently and go slow.
- This recipe makes about 2-3 cups of whipped cream and can easily be halved for a small batch or doubled for a large batch.
- It will last 1-2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
