Recreate the delicious mascarpone whipped cream from popular food truck Waffle Love with this easy copycat recipe. Perfect for topping off your homemade waffles!

Ingredients for Mascarpone Whipped Cream
You won’t believe that it only takes 4 ingredients to make this tasty dessert topping! Adding mascarpone to the whipped cream helps stabilize it. We have a stabilized whipped cream recipe already on the blog, but if you don’t want to mess with gelatin, try mascarpone instead! Here is what you will need:
- Heavy Whipping Cream: you’ll need a pint of whipping cream to make this recipe
- Clear Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla is essential in this whipped cream and the clear vanilla makes helps it stay bright white.
- If you don’t have clear vanilla, regular vanilla extract will work fine.
- Powdered Sugar: also called confectioners’ sugar
- Mascarpone: can be found in the grocery store near the ricotta cheese or cream cheese
The measurements of each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
What is Mascarpone Cheese?
Mascarpone is an Italian soft cheese made from cow’s milk and coagulated with an acid of some kind. It’s like Italian cream cheese. It is extra creamy and velvety in texture has the most dreamy flavor. It is similar to cream cheese but more sweet. You can find it at the grocery store near the cream cheese in a small white container usually.

How to Use Whipped Mascarpone Cream
Now that I’ve figured out this whipped cream recipe
Simple, two-ingredient maple butter is heaven on earth when it is slathered on warm bread or biscuits fresh from the oven. And happily, it’s as easy as falling off of a log to whip together this perfectly balanced, just-sweet-enough whipped butter spread.
Maple Butter
Everyone knows and loves honey butter, but I think maple butter needs more attention. It’s such a simple way to bring maple goodness to the table whether on bread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, French toast, or more!
The first time I made this, the butter and an entire loaf of bread were gone in just a matter of hours. That was with only 3 adults in the house. If you have more hungry mouths to feed, I’d recommend doubling the recipe.
This recipe also keeps well in the fridge for a week or so, and in the freezer for up to 3 months for best quality.
Want a special treat for your french toast? Freeze maple butter in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, remove and store in a freezer baggie. Soften as many as you need on a plate on the counter before serving, and then add one cube between two piping-hot pieces of French Toast.
