Description
This stabilized whipped cream is my all-time favorite, and it can be ready in 15 minutes! It’s light and airy – perfect to top cupcakes or ice cream, dip fruit in, or just eat by the spoonful.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese (I use Belgioioso)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl in the fridge (optional, but strongly encouraged).
- In your chilled bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and sugar on a high speed until completely combined.
- Add vanilla and heavy cream, and mix on a low setting until it is mostly combined. Now increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form – it may take a little while, so be patient!
- Once cupcakes have completely cooled, fit a piping bag with desired tip and go to town with frosting your cupcakes.
Equipment

Notes
- You can use either a stand mixer or a hand mixer (aff link) for this recipe, but a stand mixer will save your arm from getting sore!
- Don’t over-whip the mixture because you’ll end up with a weird butter! Mix on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
