Love it. I will reduce sugar next time... by half or more. Might add a scoop of Greek yogurt for tang.

This sounds absolutely delicious! I've read about using mascarpone to stabilize whipped cream, but never in equal ratios. Does it give it more of a tangy "cheesy" taste? Do you think this frosting is sturdy enough for a layered cake (about 5 layers)?

It's pretty sturdy but not being much of a baker, I really can't tell you much about a 5 layer cake. I don't think there's much of a cheesy taste since mascarpone is so mild. Thanks so much for your interest!

I'm so glad I found this. I've used Mascarpone Cheese to stabilize whipped cream to use as a dessert garnish. It doesn't have the tang that cream cheese has so it doesn't really add any cheesey flavor. I've often wondered if a 50/50 mix of cream and mascarpone would whip up to be a good frosting. Thanks for this!

Thanks so much Emily! I've been thinking about how versatile this is....maybe adding coffee, chocolate or something a little boozy? And this is probably the easiest frosting I've ever made!
