Make Mascarpone Frosting

A soft, creamy cheese often used in tiramisu, mascarpone is also a deliciously indulgent ingredient to make frosting from. This recipe provides enough frosting for one large cake to be frosted on the outside and a middle layer.

Ingredients

  • 250g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup/160g confectioners sugar (icing sugar), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 250g mascarpone cheese
  • 1 14 cups/300ml thickened cream
  • Large cake cut in half, to frost or a few cupcakes

Steps

  1. Place the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Using the electric hand mixer, beat together until smooth.
  2. Add the mascarpone cheese. Beat in using medium speed, until just combined.
  3. Add the cream last. Beat in until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Spread the frosting over a cake as well as on the inner middle layer. If you are making cupcakes - frost the top of the cakes.
  5. Decorate with extra garnishes. While the frosting is enough on its own, you might like to add other toppings to the frosting, such as:
    • Chocolate sprinkles or grated/shredded chocolate
    • Chocolate curls
    • Shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes
    • Dusted cocoa powder
    • Chopped or flaked nuts
    • Rock candy crystals, etc.
  6. Finished.

Things You'll Need

  • Mixing bowl, small
  • Electric hand mixer
  • Frosting spatula or knife for spreading
