This recipe makes about 6 cups of creamy, delectable frosting that tastes like a rich whipped cream with just a hint of the mascarpone cheese flavor. Mascarpone, pronounced “mahs-kahr-pohn” is a rich Italian soft cheese, with a delicate sweet flavor and the texture of sour cream. It is also wonderful mixed with a little sugar or honey and served with fresh fruit and is used in making cheesecakes and classic tiramisu dessert.
