Using rich, mild and creamy mascarpone cheese to make your cake frosting creates a delicious, fluffy alternative to traditional buttercream. It’s slightly less sweet and a little more stable so it holds its shape well, making it ideal for piping and decorating.
Ingredients
250g mascarpone
200g double cream
100g icing sugar (you can adjust according to your taste)
2tsp vanilla bean paste
Serves: Makes enough to sandwich and lightly frost two 20cm sponges
Preparation time: 5-10mins
Method
Whisk all the ingredients for the icing together to get a soft spreadable consistency. Use it to sandwich and frost your cakes.
As it is mostly cheese and milk based, make sure to keep the frosting (and any cakes you use it on) chilled at all times.
