This mascarpone frosting is really a whipped mascarpone cream or a stabilized whipped with mascarpone. Good news is, it is really easy to make! Since it is stabilized it lasts when you pipe it on top of Tiramisu, cake or more!

  • Tip 1: Make sure the mascarpone is cold before using. I tried this with room temperature mascarpone and the frosting split.
  • Tip 2: Beat the heavy cream to a soft peal Soft peak is the first stage of whipped cream. When you take off the beater, the peak will flop over.
  • Tip 3: Add the mascarpone to the soft whipped cream. Then, beat until stiff peaks. Stiff peaks mean that when you take off the beater, the peak will stay up strong. Make sure to not overbeat past this stage. Otherwise it will split.

    4 oz Mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

  • Add the mascarpone and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. When you pull off the beaters the tip that's left will stand up straight. Make sure to not overwhip, otherwise it will split. This creates a stabilized whip cream that is great for dessert. Especially Tiramisu!
