Method

Instructions

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mascarpone, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, heavy cream and vanilla together for about 1 minute, until light and fluffy, while resisting the deeply human urge to fuss with it nonstop. Add the crystallized ginger and salt and beat for 30 seconds more.
