Brandy Cream Recipe - Ideal for Yule Logs

I decided this year to fill my Christmas yule log creation (recipe to follow) with some brandy cream. I am so pleased with how it tastes I am sharing it with you all:

Ingredients:

200g pot of mascarpone
250ml double cream
3 heaped tablespoons of icing sugar
1 large tablespoon of brandy

Method:

Combine the all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk furiously until thick enough that the cream doesn't fall off the whisk. How simple is that? Use in a cake, or serve up alongside Christmas pudding


Alternatively, you can use single cream for those watching their wasteline, although brandy cream should only ever be a rare indulgance anyway. Also, use good cocoa powder if you want a dark cream, while substitue the brandy for your liquor of choice.
