Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 150 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by allowing the low-fat cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easy blending.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese with the low-fat Greek yogurt.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to mix at a low speed to prevent powder from scattering.
Step 5
Once the sugar is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Step 6
Mix again until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more powdered sugar, keeping in mind the low-fat goal.
Step 8
Chill the mascarpone cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve as a topping for desserts, fruits, or use it as a base for other recipes requiring mascarpone cream.
