Chocolate-Mascarpone Cream
Serves: approximately ½ cup
 
The French would surely rave about this luscious spread that uses mascarpone, a rich, creamy Italian cheese that is quite similar to English clotted cream, as the base.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoon cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, cream, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract with a mixer at low speed until combined. Increase speed to high, and beat until mixture is smooth and creamy.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Chocolate-Mascarpone Cream can be made up to a day in advance, stored in a covered container, and refrigerated until needed.
