For the best results, ensure that both the butter and mascarpone cheese are at a consistent room temperature before starting. This will help the frosting achieve a silky-smooth texture. If you prefer a sweeter frosting, gradually add more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until you reach your desired sweetness. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature and re-whip it briefly to restore its smooth consistency.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sifted powdered sugar and softened butter. Begin mixing on low speed to prevent a cloud of sugar, gradually increasing to medium speed. Beat for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Estimated time: 3-5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Add the softened mascarpone cheese and vanilla paste to the bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined and the frosting is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as excessive mixing can cause the mascarpone and butter to separate, resulting in a curdled texture. (Estimated time: 1-2 minutes)

May 26, 2025I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste and it was still delicious. Will definitely make this again!
