A rich and creamy Mascarpone Espresso Frosting combining the smoothness of mascarpone cheese with the bold flavor of espresso, perfect for adding a luxurious coffee-infused finish to cupcakes and other desserts.
Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 320 ml cold heavy cream
- 200 g cold mascarpone cheese
- 8 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 shots cold brewed espresso
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or powder
Instructions
- Prepare the espresso. Brew two shots of espresso using your preferred method and place them in the refrigerator to chill well before use.
- Combine main ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the cold mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, vanilla bean paste or powder, and powdered sugar.
- Whip mixture. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the ingredients for about 5 minutes until the frosting becomes thick, fluffy, and well-whipped, resembling soft peaks.
- Incorporate espresso. Slowly add the cold brewed espresso into the whipped mixture and continue beating until the coffee is fully incorporated and the frosting achieves a smooth, fluffy consistency.
- Use the frosting. Your Mascarpone Espresso Frosting is now ready to be spread or piped onto cupcakes or your favorite desserts for a delightful coffee-flavored finish.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are cold before starting to achieve the best whipped texture.
- The espresso must be cooled completely to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Adjust the powdered sugar to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Vanilla bean paste can be substituted with vanilla extract if needed.
- Best used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
