Instructions
- Chill a metal mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 10 minutes; keep the pasteurized cream cold until immediately before whipping.
- Combine 480 ml heavy whipping cream, 45 g mascarpone and 45 g powdered sugar in the chilled bowl.
- Sprinkle powdered flavor ingredients into the bowl and whisk briefly to disperse any clumps; add liquid flavorings next.
- Whip on medium speed for 2–4 minutes until peaks bend gently but retain shape. Stop before the mixture becomes grainy.
- Taste and immediately spoon or pipe onto dessert. Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below until serving.
Tips
- The mascarpone improves piping stability; overwhipping still causes separation.
- Use powdered, concentrated fruit flavors rather than watery purees to preserve volume.
