Mascarpone Frosting

This mascarpone frosting is essentially a super stable whip cream! It's light and just barely sweet, making it perfect for decorating cakes, pies, or eating plain with just fresh fruit!

Ingredients

  • 360 g heavy cream, cold
  • 340 g mascarpone, cold
  • 150 g granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, and sugar.
  • Whisk on low speed until combined, then turn up to medium high speed until thick (only about 30 seconds).
  • Use immediately or store in the fridge until ready to use. 

Notes

  • 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  • I originally made this frosting for this cake - White Cake with Strawberries.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!
