FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, this dessert is great for making ahead of time. It needs to chill for at least 4 hours, so preparing it the night before works well.

Can I use whipped cream instead of heavy cream?

While you can use whipped cream, heavy cream gives a richer texture to the mascarpone mixture. If you do use whipped cream, fold it in gently to maintain its lightness.

Is there a way to make it dairy-free?

Yes, you can use dairy-free whipped cream and a dairy-free alternative to mascarpone cheese. There are many plant-based options available at the store.
