Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
- 100 grams Berries or cookies (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Beat using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate large mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and whip it using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three parts. Use a silicone spatula and make slow, sweeping motions to combine without deflating the whipped cream.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using) to the mixture, and gently fold until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Spoon the mascarpone cream into serving bowls, glasses, or ramekins. Optionally, layer with berries, crushed cookies, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Refrigerate the mascarpone creams for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving. Serve cold and garnish with extra berries or cookie crumbles, if desired.
