Mascarpone Whipped Cream Topping For Cream Pies Recipes

MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 30 minutes to help this mascarpone cream whip up better.
• Place 1 cup (8 oz.) of cold, drained mascarpone cheese into the chilled mixing bowl and mix on a medium low speed until smooth.
• Pour in 1 cup of powdered sugar, and mix on low at first to avoid powdered sugar clouds / explosions. Increase the speed to medium high once the powdered sugar is incorporated and mix for about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed throughout this process.
• Add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, then turn the mixer to a medium high speed and gradually pour in 2 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream. I like to do this in about 4 additions and focus on pouring the heavy cream down the side of the bowl to prevent it from splattering.
• Watch the mixture closely once the heavy cream is fully mixed in. It should thicken and take shape shortly after this (mine usually does within about 30 seconds of add in all the heavy cream). Take care not to over-mix this mascarpone cream!! If you do it can become soupy and sadly you won't be able to fix it.
• As soon as you see the frosting start to take shape, turn off your mixer and do a quick whisk test. Dunk your whisk attachment into the cream, then put it up and flip it upside down. The mascarpone cream should keep its shape and form a nice peak. If it doesn't, continue to mix on a medium high speed in 15-30 second intervals until it does.
• This mascarpone cream can be used to frost cupcakes, decorate layer cakes, or even top cookies, ice cream, and pies! It pipes well and can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

EASY MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl beat the cream and sugar until thick peaks appear (very thick).
• In a medium bowl beat (with same beaters) the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Add the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture and whisk strongly until smooth. Don't over mix. Use as a topping for cakes or fresh fruit. Enjoy!

MASCARPONE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk the cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form
• In a small bowl, gently mix together the mascarpone cheese and vanilla.
• Add mascarpone to softly whipped cream and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and firm peaks form. Be careful not to over beat or the mixture could split.
• Use immediately or refrigerate until needed.

STABILIZED MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until soft peaks form. If making the chocolate version, also add the cocoa.
• 12. Add the mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream and whip until stiff peaks form. It will happen fairly quickly.
• The mascarpone whipped cream will stay stable in the fridge for several days, even for a week, though it won't remain as fresh. If you are going to use it to frosting something, I would suggest using it right away so that it maintains its texture well. Once it's piped or spread, etc, it'll stay put and nice and fluffy.
• *I prefer to use the mascarpone cheese when still chilled, but soft, so that it'll in corporate well, without chunks. The warmer mascarpone cheese is, the more likely it is to soften to the point that it won't firm up well again and can make too soft of a frosting. I like to take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before using so that it softens a bit, but is still cool.

MASCARPONE FROSTING

Steps:

• With an electric mixer on medium speed, whisk heavy cream until stiff peaks form (be careful not to overbeat, or cream will be grainy). In another bowl, whisk together mascarpone and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until completely incorporated. Use immediately.

CLASSIC WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream on medium-low speed until it begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and add the sugar in a slow, steady stream, then continue to whip to medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.
• Do Ahead: Plain whipped cream is best made just before it is used, but you can intentionally under-whip the cream (to just under soft peaks), then finish by whipping by hand when you're ready to serve. It will hold this way for up to 4 hours. The mascarpone variation can be made up to 6 hours ahead and held in the refrigerator. Whip a few times gently to refresh before using.
• Variation
• Mascarpone Whipped Cream: Reduce the cream by half. For a half batch, use 75 g / ⅓ cup mascarpone; for a full batch, 113 g / ½ cup; and for a mile-high batch, 170 g / ¾ cup. Place the mascarpone and sugar in the mixer bowl and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl well, then reduce the speed to medium-low and add the cream in a slow, steady stream. Raise the speed to medium-high and whip until the mixture is smooth and reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.
