1 cup Heavy Cream (Whipping Cream)

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, almond extract, and sea salt. Mix on low speed with an electric hand mixer for 1 minute until fluffy.
Slowly add in the powdered sugar on low speed, mixing until it is completely incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream at low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium and whip until it becomes thicker with soft peaks. Increase the speed to high and whip for 2 minutes. The frosting should be very fluffy with stiff peaks.

Notes

Flavor - Instead of almond extract, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract may be used. ½ teaspoon of strawberry, lemon, orange, or anise extract can also be used. Make Ahead/Storage - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
