Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Mixture
- 250 g mascarpone, cold
Whipped Cream
- 250 g heavy cream, cold
- 40 g powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Mascarpone Cheese: Place the cold mascarpone into a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently stir and break up the mascarpone to prevent lumps in your whipped cream, as some brands can be firmer than others.
- Whip Remaining Ingredients: Add the cold heavy cream, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste to the mascarpone. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks. The texture should be smooth, silky, and able to hold its shape but not grainy or split, which indicates overwhipping.
- Serve or Store: Use the Chantilly cream immediately by spooning or piping it over desserts like pies and cakes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avoid stirring before use if stored to maintain volume and texture.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are cold for best whipping results.
- Do not overwhip to avoid grainy texture or splitting.
- Vanilla bean paste imparts a more authentic flavor and visible specks as opposed to vanilla extract.
- Storage in an airtight container in the fridge keeps the cream fresh up to three days.
