Step 1

Remove the mascarpone from the fridge before preparing the remaining ingredients (leave it out for up to 10 minutes to soften).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, vanilla bean paste, and extract if using. Whisk in powdered sugar (sifted, if needed), until combined.

Step 3

Stir the mascarpone cheese into the liquid, slowly to start, until it's completely combined and smooth. Serve with your favorite fruit, and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
