Mascarpone cheese is great, but can be hard to find. Here's a simple recipe that you can use at home to make mascarpone. It isn't 100 percent authentic (authentic recipes use a bacterial culture), but it doesn't require any hard to find ingredients, either!

1 pint heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar

1 quart whipping cream (not ultra pasteurized)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Line a strainer or colander with dampened cheesecloth, napkin, or coffee filters. Set the strainer or colander over a bowl and carefully spoon the curds into the strainer. Allow the mascarpone to cool to room temperature.
  • cover the strainer tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the cheese to finish draining and become firm. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container. Use the mascarpone within 3-or-4 days.
