Ingredients
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 56 grams Unsalted butter
- 227 grams Low sodium mascarpone cheese
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it reaches 190°F (88°C), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to let it curdle.
Step 3
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and line it with several layers of cheesecloth.
Step 4
Pour the curdled cream into the lined sieve and let it drain at room temperature for about an hour.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a separate saucepan and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Once the cream has drained, transfer it into a mixing bowl and gently stir in the butter, low sodium mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and thicken before using.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a dessert topping, in tiramisu, or as a luscious spread.
