1/2 plus 1/8th Teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract

Savory Notes:

Not only is this maple mascarpone whipped cream great for sweet desserts, but it can also be transformed into a savory buttery spread for warm bread or a topping for soup.

To make a savory buttery spread, simply omit the sugar from the recipe and whisk a little longer until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Then slather it on your favorite warm dinner roll or breakfast toast for a delicious addition to your meal.

For a savory soup topping, omit the brown sugar and transfer the cream to a piping bag with an open star tip. Use it to top a roasted butternut squash soup for a flavorful and elegant touch.

So whether you're satisfying your sweet tooth or adding a savory twist to your meals, this versatile maple mascarpone whipped cream is the perfect addition to your culinary repertoire.
