Homemade whipped cream is hard to beat — no pun intended. But whisking in some luscious mascarpone, bright lemon zest and a touch of powdered sugar for just the right balance of sweetness does just that. This recipe is the star of the show in a summery nectarine and berry parfait and a decadent way to top off mixed berry cobbler, but it can also elevate fresh berries or sliced peaches, pies and crisps.
