Copycat Waffle Love Mascarpone Whipped Cream Recipe [+Video]

Recreate the delicious mascarpone whipped cream from popular food truck Waffle Love with this easy copycat recipe. Perfect for topping off your homemade waffles!

I originally was looking to make a thicker, creamier whipped cream to accompany our Liege Waffles, or as you all know them, Waffle Love waffles, and while I did just that, I also threw in some clear vanilla and my goodness, it took the taste to a whole new level!!! 4 ingredients is all you need!

Ingredients for Mascarpone Whipped Cream

You won’t believe that it only takes 4 ingredients to make this tasty dessert topping! Adding mascarpone to the whipped cream helps stabilize it. We have a stabilized whipped cream recipe already on the blog, but if you don’t want to mess with gelatin, try mascarpone instead! Here is what you will need:

• Heavy Whipping Cream: you’ll need a pint of whipping cream to make this recipe
• Clear Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla is essential in this whipped cream and the clear vanilla makes helps it stay bright white.
  • If you don’t have clear vanilla, regular vanilla extract will work fine.
• Powdered Sugar: also called confectioners’ sugar
• Mascarpone: can be found in the grocery store near the ricotta cheese or cream cheese

The measurements of each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

What is Mascarpone Cheese?

Mascarpone is an Italian soft cheese made from cow’s milk and coagulated with an acid of some kind. It’s like Italian cream cheese. It is extra creamy and velvety in texture has the most dreamy flavor. It is similar to cream cheese but more sweet. You can find it at the grocery store near the cream cheese in a small white container usually.

How to Make Mascarpone Whipped Cream Recipe

If you thought 4 ingredients was simple, just wait and see how easy mascarpone chantilly cream is to make! Just 2 steps:

1. Soft Peaks: Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat until soft peaks form. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

This whipped cream will be stabilized enough to put in a piping bag pipe on cupcakes or pies. The complete recipe can be found in the recipe card down below. Keep scrolling for all the details.

How to Use Whipped Mascarpone Cream

Now that I’ve figured out this whipped cream recipe, I want to put it on top of all the things. It really does go perfectly on top of any dessert. Of course it goes on top of our copycat Waffle Love liege waffles, but here are some other options too:

• Breakfast: Buttermilk Pancakes, French Toast, Crepes
• Pies: Razzleberry Pie, Key Lime Pie, Banana Cream Pie
• Cakes: Lemon Jello Cake, Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake, Chocolate Lava Cake
• Other Desserts: Peach Cobbler, Apple Crisp, Raspberry Lemon Tart Bars

It also makes a great dip for fruit! Strawberries dipped in this whipped cream is divine!

Substitute for Mascarpone

If you can’t find mascarpone, cream cheese will be your best substitute, though it will have a slightly different taste.

Storage Tips

Whipped mascarpone cream doesn’t store extremely well and should be used quickly after being made. If you do have leftovers, it should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will deflate and become more runny over time.

I also would not recommend freezing mascarpone whipped either. The texture becomes grainy when it is thawed.
