Preparation

  • Place a large bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer 15 minutes before starting. The heavy cream and mascarpone must also be very cold from the fridge, never at room temperature.
  • Pour into the well-chilled bowl the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, limoncello and lemon zest.
  • Start beating with electric mixer on low speed to incorporate ingredients without splashing. Gradually increase to medium speed, then finish on high speed. Beat for 2 to 4 minutes total.
  • Watch the texture carefully: the whipped cream is ready when it forms firm but silky peaks on the whisk (bird’s beak). Beyond that, it risks turning into butter in a few seconds.
  • Serve immediately on the dessert of your choice, or transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
