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!

Provided by Mike Swieton

Time 4h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pint heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Pour cream into a metal bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Heat until warm. Stir in the cream of tartar, and continue to heat and stir until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Remove from the heat.
  • Line a colander or strainer with cheesecloth, and place over a bowl. Paper towels also seem to work well. Pour the mixture into the strainer, and let it drain for several hours, or overnight in the refrigerator. Spoon the resulting cheese into a clean container and use within one week. Store in the refrigerator.

Mascarpone is a type of Italian cream cheese. It's made from cow's milk and has a thick, creamy texture.

I'm not a huge fan of mascarpone, but I have to admit that it's perfect for making tiramisu. The creamy texture and mild flavor really let the other flavors in the dish shine through.

I tried making mascarpone at home recently and it was surprisingly easy! The hardest part was finding heavy cream with a high enough fat content, but once I did, the rest of the process was a breeze.
