Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream
Servings: 6
The best whipped cream you'll ever eat is made by whipping up heavy cream and adding in luscious mascarpone and the insides of vanilla beans. It's out of this world creamy and delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Vanilla Bean Pods Scraped clean (see post for technique)
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 8 Ounces Mascarpone softened
Instructions
- In a bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the whipped cream until soft peaks form. Over whipping will turn it to butter, so once it begins to thicken stop the mixer.
- Add the vanilla bean and powdered sugar, then beat in until soft peaks are starting to form again.
- Add the mascarpone and beat until stiff peaks. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
This whipped cream is far more stable and great to make a day ahead of time.
