Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 4 ounces Mascarpone cheese (cold)
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill a mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes prior to starting. Cold equipment helps achieve a better whip.
Step 2
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Using the electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed first to combine the ingredients without splattering. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high.
Step 4
Continue beating the mixture until you see medium to stiff peaks form. This usually takes 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can cause the mixture to become grainy or turn into butter.
Step 5
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sweetness or vanilla if needed by gently folding in small amounts of powdered sugar or vanilla extract.
Step 6
Once ready, use the mascarpone-stabilized whipped cream immediately or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It will maintain its shape and texture longer than regular whipped cream.
