Do you feel like preparing a creamy, smooth, and flavorful mascarpone cream? The Thermomix is the perfect tool to achieve it effortlessly and with a spectacular result. This recipe for mascarpone cream is ideal for accompanying desserts such as tiramisu, cakes, or simply enjoying it on its own. Let's get started with the preparation!

Ingredients for Mascarpone Cream with Thermomix

3 eggs (cold)
6 tablespoons of sugar
500 g of cream (preferably plant-based and sweetened)
500 g of mascarpone
1 pinch of vanilla (or vanilla powder)

To achieve a firm texture and a fresh flavor, it is important to carry out certain previous steps. Here are some basic tips:

Cooling the ingredients: Place the eggs and the cream in the refrigerator at least the night before preparation to ensure a good consistency when whipped.
Cooling the equipment: Place the Thermomix bowl in the refrigerator 15 minutes before starting, and put the whisk in the freezer. This helps keep the mixture cold, ideal for whipping the cream and mascarpone.

Step by Step to Prepare Mascarpone Cream with Thermomix

Step 1: Preparation of the Base with Egg, Sugar, and Vanilla

The first step is to mix the eggs with sugar and vanilla to give the cream its base flavor and structure. Follow these detailed steps:

Place the whisk in the Thermomix jar.
Pour the cold eggs, sugar, and pinch of vanilla into the jar.
Whisk the mixture for 4 minutes at speed 4 to achieve a smooth and well-integrated consistency.

Do You Want to Pasteurize the Eggs?

If you prefer to pasteurize the eggs for extra safety, you can do it at this point:

Set the Thermomix to 10 minutes, speed 4, at 80°C. This will pasteurize the eggs while mixing.
Once the mixture is ready, remove the bowl and place it in the refrigerator until completely chilled. You will proceed with the recipe once the mixture is cold.

Step 2: Whipping the Cream

The cream is crucial to achieve the smooth and light texture of mascarpone cream. To do this:

Once the egg, sugar, and vanilla mixture is cold, add the cream to the bowl.
Whisk for 1 minute and 50 seconds at speed 4. Do not place the measuring cup on the lid, as this will allow air to incorporate into the mixture, helping the cream to whip better.
Listen to the change in sound of the Thermomix as the cream whips, and check the consistency through the lid hole. If the cream is whipped before the set time, you can stop the machine to prevent overmixing.

Step 3: Incorporating the Mascarpone

With the cream whipped, it's time to add the mascarpone, which will give the mixture a creamy and consistent touch:

Add the cold mascarpone to the Thermomix bowl.
Whisk for 1 minute and 50 seconds at speed 4, keeping the whisk and without the measuring cup on the lid.
Observe the texture through the lid hole, and if the mixture has reached a smooth and creamy consistency, stop the Thermomix.

Tips for Perfect Mascarpone Cream

What to Do if the Cream Curdles?

Sometimes, the cream may curdle if the cream is over-whipped or if the ingredients are not cold enough. If this happens:

Try adding a little more cold cream and whisk at low speed to restore the texture.
If it doesn't recover, the mixture can be served as a mascarpone sauce instead of a thick cream.

How to Sweeten to Taste?

If you prefer a sweeter cream, you can add a couple of extra tablespoons of sugar to the egg mixture, or even a bit of powdered sugar at the end to not alter the cream's texture.
