Get ready for a frosting that’s fresh, flavorful, and downright addictive! This creamy mascarpone frosting is perfect as a cake filling or for decorating cupcakes, and it’s guaranteed to impress.
The magic comes from the dreamy combination of mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, finely grated dark chocolate, and zesty orange. The burst of fresh orange flavor with the rich chocolate makes this frosting truly one of a kind.
Not a fan of orange? No problem! Swap it out for lemon zest, or even try grapefruit zest for a fun, citrusy twist.
Pro tip: Be careful not to overwhip the mascarpone mixture—it’ll naturally firm up once you fold in the chocolate. And if mascarpone isn’t your thing, you can substitute it with Philadelphia cream cheese (just make sure to use the spreadable kind, not the block).
This frosting is as versatile as it is delicious, and I can’t wait for you to try it!
