Mascarpone Lime Cream Recipe
Lime is such a great flavor for so many desserts, and lacing whipped mascarpone, with its creaminess and delicate sweetness makes for a combination you can use in so many ways.
Recipe Ingredients
To make my mascarpone lime cream recipe, you’ll need the following:
- Mascarpone – 1 cup mascarpone
- Heavy Cream – 1 cup heavy cream or double cream
- Icing Sugar – 1/4 cup icing sugar/powdered sugar
- Lime Juice – 2 tbsp freshly-squeezed lime juice
- Vanilla Paste – 1 tsp vanilla paste (or vanilla bean extract)
- Salt – pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer for a couple minutes until you get a smooth, airy, and creamy mousse.
Step 2 – Transfer to a smaller bowl and smooth out the surface, topping with thin slices of lime (optional).
Serving Suggestions
Fruit Salad – Lime pairs well with both seasonal fruits, like apples and berries, and plenty of tropical fruits. Hence you can serve a bowl of this as a side to a big fruit salad.
Fresh Lime – Thinly slice some limes and use them both as a garnish, and to eat with the cream.
Lemon Ricotta Cream Mousse – You could also try whipping up some of my delicious ricotta lemon cream mousse and serving both together with fruit and other sweet treats.
Baked Apple or Berry Pie – If you don’t have ice cream, try serving this instead with a hot slice of pie.
Biscuits and/or Sweet/Savory Crackers – A soft or crunchy base balances the creaminess and sweetness so well.
