Chantilly Cream Frosting

Created by: Courtney
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield: 3 cups
Chantilly cream frosting is light, fluffy, creamy, and easy to make. Made with mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream, this frosting is subtly sweet, pipes perfectly, and pairs well with cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, and other desserts.

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 8 oz (227 g) mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (355 ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • While mixing on low speed, slowly drizzle in the heavy cream. Once all the heavy cream is added, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the frosting for about 2 minutes until medium-stiff peaks form. (The frosting will hold its shape, but still remain soft). Note: The time it takes for the chantilly cream to whip up to medium-stiff peaks can vary. Please check the consistency every 15 seconds to be sure not to over whip the cream.

Notes

Storing & Serving:
  • The frosting should be made the day you plan on using it. You cannot make the frosting ahead of time and save it for later use.
  • Once frosted onto cakes or cupcakes, the frosting will last about 3 days.
  • Keep the frosting chilled for the best results. If exposed to heat, the frosting will melt.
