Notes
Storing Extra Mascarpone Cream
If you want to make a big batch of this cream, double or triple the recipe ingredients. Once you've made it, store the cream in the fridge in an airtight container and keep it for up to 3 days.
My Top Tips
When making the mascarpone cream, before adding it to the latte, give the mixture a taste. Here you can customise the recipe to adapt it to your taste, for example, you can add more icing sugar or some espresso for more of an intense flavour.I like to use my milk frother to make the mascarpone cream mixture airy and light, this also prevents it from sinking to the bottom.If you like your coffee strong, then I recommend adding two shots of espresso. If you're using instant coffee, then mix together 4 teaspoons of instant coffee with 4 tablespoons of water.
