Easy Mascarpone Dessert Recipes
Mascarpone has a mild, creamy flavor that works beautifully in all kinds of sweet desserts. You can combine it with fruit, chocolate or cookies, or whip it with cream for a light and smooth topping.
A delicious example is my Eton mess, where mascarpone adds extra creaminess to the combination of strawberries, meringue and cream. For more ideas to serve after dinner or for a special occasion, browse my dessert recipes.
Classic Tiramisu with Mascarpone
Tiramisu is probably the most famous dessert made with mascarpone, and for good reason. Mascarpone creates the rich and creamy layers that work so well with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and cocoa powder.
My classic tiramisu without eggs combines mascarpone with whipped cream for a smooth filling without raw eggs. Once you have mastered the classic, there are plenty of fruity and seasonal variations to try too.
How to Use Mascarpone Cream
Mascarpone is also a great ingredient for making an easy cream that can be used as a filling or topping. My mascarpone cream recipe is firm enough for small swirls and works well in desserts, cakes and other sweet bakes.
For example, I use mascarpone cream on my funfetti loaf cake together with strawberries and sprinkles. You can also browse my frostings and fillings for more ways to finish and fill your homemade bakes.
