Directions
Homemade Mascarpone Cheese, Creamy, silky smooth mascarpone cheese that you can make at home instead of paying an arm and a leg for store-bought! This is the perfect introduction to cheesemaking for the beginner, no hard-to-find ingredients, super easy to make, and very rewarding! Use this in tiramisu or other Italian desserts , Can use citric acid instead on lemon juice? If so, would use 1 1/2 tsp?, My mascarpone came out great! Color, texture, and taste It didn’t take long to come to temp, but it took forever to thicken I added a tad more lemon juice after about 15 minutes, then left it alone for about 5 more, came back, and it was perfect Because of this, I think it didn’t have as much liquid left in it because after a couple hours of being in the strainer/coffee filter, there wasn’t anything in the bowl, but the coffee filter was wet and the cheese thick I’ve read a recipe that said to cook it right in the pan, so I might try that next time to speed things up a bit And FYI, it doesn’t make very much (around 4oz for mine) Next time I’ll be brave and triple it to use in a tiramisu!

Bring Water to a Boil Over Medium-High Heat Until Cream Reaches 190 Degrees (just Below the Boiling Point - It Will Be Very Frothy and Steamy), Stirring Frequently. I Had a Little Trouble Getting Mine Quite That Hot, So I Popped the Bowl in the Microwave For a Few Seconds. |
