Directions
In a saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, water, granulated sugar, and finely grated orange zest for the orange-orzata syrup. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the syrup to slightly thicken. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orzata syrup. Let the orange-orzata syrup cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it reaches soft peaks and becomes light and fluffy.
