CREMA DI MASCARPONE
Mascarpone Cream

Mascarpone is a very rich Italian cheese concentrated from milk cream, with a fat content up to 75%. It has a very smooth, creamy and sweet texture. Mascarpone cream is a combination of this cheese with Zabaglione and whipped cream.

Prepare Zabaglione - Click here for the recipe.

1 lb (450 gr) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

1 1/2 cup (340 cc) heavy whipping cream

With a rubber spatula, mash the mascarpone cheese in a bowl until creamy.

When the zabaglione custard is still warm, add the zabaglione into the mascarpone cheese, and beat to mix very well.

Whip the cream. By hand, fold the whipped cream into the zabaglione cream, until smooth.

Mascarpone cream can be served plain with Savoiardi cookies, or decorated with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Mascarpone Cream is used as filling in Tiramisu’, but can be served as a dessert by itself with Savoiardi (Ladyfinger) cookies. In fact it is believed that this cream is a precursor of Tiramisu’, which would be the elaboration by an inventive chef of this delicious cream.
