There’s one thing I love more than whipped cream, and it’s my stabilized whipped cream frosting! It is so incredibly delicious and light, not too sweet, and is great for piping. Best of all, it stays stable for days, making it great for decorating cakes, cupcakes and all sorts of desserts!

IMPORTANT: For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided, as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (225 g) mascarpone - cold
  • ½ cup (55 g) icing sugar - also known as confectioners/powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
  • 1½ cups (335 g) whipping cream - cold

Instructions

  • Before beginning, your mascarpone and whipped cream should be cold. It's also best to place the bowl and whisks that you'll be using to make the frosting, into the fridge for 15 minutes (if you have time).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla. Mix on a low speed for about 10 seconds, and then turn up the speed to a medium high and mix until well combined (about a minute). If using a stand mixer use the whisk attachment.
  • Add in the whipping cream and mix on a low speed for about 10 seconds (to allow everything to combine without the cream splattering), and then turn up the speed to a medium high and whip until you reach stiff peaks. Keep a careful eye on the mixture as you don't want to overwhip the cream.

Notes

Note 1.  Because this is a whipped cream, once it sets it's hard to get it back to a smooth consistency, so I do recommend using it straight away, especially if you want to do smooth piping or cake decorating.
