Ingredients

White Chocolate Ganache

  • 5 oz White chocolate 142 g
  • 3 tbsp Heavy cream 45 g

Mascarpone Whipped Cream

  • 3/4 cup Mascarpone cheese 180 g
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream 180 g
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract optional

Instructions

Make the ganache

  • Chop chocolate. Chop the white chocolate finely so it melts evenly.
    5 oz White chocolate
  • Heat cream. Heat the cream until just below boiling, with small bubbles at the edges.
    3 tbsp Heavy cream
  • Combine and rest. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir smooth. Stir until fully smooth and emulsified. Optionally blend for extra smoothness.
  • Cool. Let the ganache cool to below 40°C / 105°F so it is warm, not hot.

Make the cream

  • Whip cream. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until it doubles in volume and leaves faint trails that disappear. Stop before soft peaks.
    3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • Add mascarpone. Add mascarpone and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth and lump-free.
    3/4 cup Mascarpone cheese, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Whip lightly. Increase to medium speed and whip until trails remain visible.
  • Add ganache. With mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the ganache, avoiding the beaters.
  • Finish. Scrape the bowl and mix until smooth and fully combined. The cream should be soft and spreadable.
  • Use or chill. Use immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate 3–6 hours for a firmer, pipeable consistency.

Notes

Estimated yield: about 2.25 to 2.5 cups (around 540 g).
