Instructions
- Beat the mascarpone with the honey until smooth.
- Add the cold cream and vanilla and whip on medium-high to medium peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread or pipe over a completely chilled pie just before serving.
Tips
- Chill the bowl and whisk for 10 minutes first; cold cream whips faster and holds longer.
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate the topped pie and serve within 1 day.
