    This mascarpone frosting is essentially a super stable whip cream! All you need are three ingredients - mascarpone, heavy cream, and sugar. Throw them all in a bowl and whip them up with an electric mixer. In just a few seconds it thickens up into a silky smooth frosting. It's light and just barely sweet, making it perfect for decorating cakes, pies, or eating plain with just fresh fruit!

    • Heavy Cream: You'll need about 1 ½ cups of cold heavy cream.
    • Granulated Sugar: You'll need about ¾ cup of sugar to bring just the right amount of sweetness to this frosting.

    A few extra baking tips

    • Be sure to keep an eye on the frosting as it mixes; it will thicken up very quickly, and you do not want to over-whip it! Over-whipping will make it grainy and ruin the silky smooth texture. 
    • This recipe can easily be halved or doubled.
    • I originally made this frosting for this cake - White Cake with Strawberries.
    • This frosting would also be perfect for topping on fresh fruit or even pie!

    Happy baking! x
