mascarpone frosting

Learn how to make sturdy mascarpone frosting for piping designs on cake or cupcakes. This heavy cream-based recipe holds shape for days without melting.

Sturdy Mascarpone frosting that holds shape.

675 ml / 3 cups heavy whipping cream (cold from the fridge)

oz Mascarpone cheese (full fat)

sugar

real vanilla extract

salt

You can use a stand mixer or handheld one to make this frosting.

Use a beater attachment to loosen up the mascarpone cheese.

Start by beating mascarpone cheese for a minute scraping the sides in between.

Take it out with a spatula in a bowl and keep aside.

Change the beater attachment to a balloon whisk.

Now add chilled heavy whipping cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and salt to the stand mixer bowl.

Start whipping on a low speed.

Gradually increase the speed to medium and whip until soft peaks form.

It may take 3-4 minutes.

Now add in the mascarpone cheese.

Continue to whip on low speed until the cheese is incorporated and looks lump-free.

Keep a close eye on the frosting after adding mascarpone.

Whip on high speed until you just see deep streaks forming and the frosting is about to reach stiff peaks.

Once you see the whipping streaks are getting more prominent in the bowl, stop the electric or the stand mixer.

Whip remaining frosting by using the whisk attachment in your hand and going in circular motion i.e manually whipping the cream.

This gives you more control and less likely to form a butter disaster.

It’s really easy to get it wrong when using the electric whisk throughout.

If you whip heavy whipping cream for a longer time then it will clump up separate and turn into butter.

Your frosting is ready when the whisk attachment can hold the frosting well even when turning upside down.

Refrigerate the frosting until ready to use.

Decorate your bakes the same day for the best results.

Sturdy Mascarpone Frosting

These tiramisu macarons have an espresso French macaron shell and are filled with a mascarpone Kahlua frosting and then dusted with cocoa powder!

Tiramisu Macarons

egg whites (room temperature)

cream of tartar

granulated sugar

almond flour (sifted)

powdered sugar (sifted)

cocoa powder (sifted)

espresso powder (sifted)

unsalted butter (room temperature)

mascarpone cheese (room temperature)

powdered sugar

coffee liqueur (substitute brewed espresso)

Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder into a large bowl and set aside.

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until they become foamy, then add in the cream of tartar.

Turn the mixer up to medium-high and gradually add in the granulated sugar. Once all the sugar is added, turn the mixer to the highest setting and whisk on high until stiff peaks form.

Using a spatula, gently fold in half of the dry ingredient mixture until fully combined. Then gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients.

Continue to gently fold the batter until it reaches a “flowing lava” consistency. You should be able to make a “figure 8” with the batter before it breaks. As soon as you reach this consistency, stop mixing! If you over-mix the batter, the macarons won’t rise properly in the oven.

Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Scoop batter into a large piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Hold the piping bag perpendicular to the silicone mat and pipe 1 inch rounds.

Pick up the baking sheet and drop it onto the counter 3-4 times to help bring any air bubbles to the surface of the macarons. Then use a toothpick to pop any visible air bubbles to make a smooth surface.

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-40 minutes or until a skin forms on the surface. You should be able to lightly touch the surface without any batter being disturbed.

While the macarons are resting, preheat the oven to 300°F.

Bake one sheet at a time on the center rack of the oven for 13-15 minutes or when they do not move on their “feet” when touched.

Let the espresso macarons cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. They should easily peel off when fully cooled.

Macarons

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and mascarpone cheese until completely smooth.

Then add in the powdered sugar and beat on slow until combined.

Add in the coffee liqueur, then beat the frosting for 2-3 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy.

Match up your shells before filling, and then turn one side over.

Very lightly dust the tops of the macarons with a little extra cocoa powder. Then pipe the Kahlua mascarpone frosting in the center and top with the other shell.

Put the assembled tiramisu macarons in an airtight container, then place them in the fridge for mature for 12-24 hours before eating for the best taste/texture.

Mascarpone Filling

These raspberry lemon macarons have a light, French macaron shell filled with lemon mascarpone frosting and tangy raspberry jam!

Raspberry Lemon Macarons

raspberries (fresh

lemon juice

cornstarch

yellow gel food coloring (optional)

mascarpone cheese

lemon zest (optional)

raspberry jam

Add all of the jam ingredients to a large saucepan over medium-low heat. 

Allow the jam to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.

Transfer the jam to a glass jar and allow to cool to room temperature. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Raspberry Jam

Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar into a large bowl and set aside.

Turn the mixer up to medium-high and gradually add in the granulated sugar. Once all the sugar is added, turn the mixer to the highest setting and whisk on high until soft peaks form.

Add in 1-2 drops of yellow food coloring, then continue to whisk on high until stiff peaks form.

Let the macarons cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. They should easily peel off when fully cooled.

Add in the lemon zest and 1-2 teaspoons of the raspberry jam (to taste). If desired, pass through a fine mesh strainer first to remove the seeds.

Then beat the frosting for 3-4 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy.

Match up your shells before piping, and then turn one side over. Pipe the mascarpone frosting around the edge of the macaron shell. Then add a small scoop of homemade raspberry jam in the center (about ½ teaspoon) then top with the other shell.

Put the assembled raspberry lemon macarons in an airtight container, then place them in the fridge to mature for 12-24 hours. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. However, for the best taste/texture, let them come up to room temperature for about an hour before eating! [Directly out of the fridge they can sometimes be super hard but at room temperature they&#39;re perfectly soft and tender!]

Mascarpone Frosting

These blueberry mascarpone macarons have a light, French macaron shell and are filled with a simple mascarpone cheese frosting and blueberry jam.

Blueberry Mascarpone Macarons

blueberries (fresh

purple gel food coloring (optional)

I recommend making the jam the night before you want to make the macarons so that it has time to fully cool.

Add all of the blueberry jam ingredients to a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Allow the jam to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Transfer the jam to a glass jar and allow to cool to room temperature.

Blueberry Jam

Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar into a large bowl and set aside. 

Turn the mixer up to medium-high and gradually add in the granulated sugar (make sure to add the sugar in very slowly so that the meringue doesn’t deflate).

Once all the sugar is added, turn the mixer to the highest setting and whisk until soft peaks form.

If desired, add in 1-2 drops of gel food coloring. Then continue to beat on high until stiff peaks form.

Using a spatula, gently fold in half of the dry ingredient mixture until fully combined. Then gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients. Continue to gently fold the batter until it reaches a “flowing lava” consistency. You should be able to make a “figure 8” with the batter before it breaks. As soon as you reach this consistency, stop mixing! If you over-mix the batter, the macarons won’t rise properly in the oven.

In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer, cream the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Then beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is super light and fluffy.

Once the macarons are cooled, pipe the mascarpone around the edge of the macaron shell. Then add a small scoop of blueberry jam in the center (about ½ teaspoon). Then top with the other shell.

Put the assembled blueberry mascarpone macarons in an airtight container, then place them in the fridge to mature for 12-24 hours. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. However, for the best taste/texture, let them come up to room temperature for about an hour before eating!
