With simple ingredients like mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, it comes together quickly for any sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar, mixing until well blended.
  2. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
  3. Whip on medium speed until the frosting becomes fluffy and holds stiff peaks, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Use immediately to frost cakes or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

For a richer flavor, allow the mascarpone and heavy cream to come to room temperature before mixing.
If the frosting is too soft, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before using.
This frosting pairs wonderfully with chocolate or vanilla cakes.
