- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone

- Using a double-boiler, gently melt the chocolate. Add the bitters if using. Allow mixture to cool slightly.

- Add the softened mascarpone to the whipped cream. Mix on low speed until it is combined.
- Gently fold in mascarpone cream a scoop at a time to the cooled chocolate, and continue folding until mixture is smooth.
- When the chocolate mascarpone cream is smooth, fold it into the bowl with the remainder of the mascarpone cream. Be gentle as you work it.
- Garnish as desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate.
