Easy, tasty and versatile. Use as a garnish or layer it up with berries, chocolate and nuts and make it into a beautiful dessert in its own right. This is one of the recipes shared on this week’s Keto Woman podcast.
- 8 oz (227 g) mascarpone cheese
- 8 oz (236 ml) heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp confectioners’ style sweetener (or more to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese with half the sweetener and half the vanilla extract until it has about doubled in volume.
In another bowl whip the heavy cream with the remaining sweetener and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Stir one third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it and then gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream, taking care not to over mix it.
Divide the finished mascarpone cream between four wine glasses or small bowls.
Chill for at least an hour before serving - it can be prepared up to a day in advance.
You can layer the cream with berries, chocolate or chopped nuts. It is easy to make and very versatile.
Another optional extra for an indulgent treat is to add up to 2 ounces of your favorite spirit to the mascarpone when you whip it.
