Equipment

  • kitchen machine, electric whisk or manual whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g butter
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 250 g marscapone cheese
  • 400 g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • 1 tbsp cornflour add another tbsp if you need it thicker
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste/extract or what flavouring you would like/need

Instructions
 

  • Please make sure that the butter is really soft before starting this recipe
  • Place the butter into a large bowl and whisk using either a manual whisk, an electric whisk or even a kitchen machine to initially make the butter lighter and easier to incorporate with the other ingredients (so you don’t end up with lumps of butter in the end result).
  • Add the mascarpone and the cream cheese and flavouring to the butter and whisk again until all the ingredients are fully mixed together.
  • Sift the icing sugar and cornflour into a large bowl with the other ingredients and gradually whisk everything together so that the mix is ready to be used.
