In medium bowl, beat whipping cream and remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into mascarpone mixture.

Expert Tips

Be sure not to overbeat mascarpone mixture; overbeating can cause the mixture to stiffen and become difficult to spread over donuts.
Store leftovers covered in refrigerator up to 3 days.
