Mascarpone is a very and tasty cream cheese and it's one of the most luscious cheese you can eat, alone or pair with other ingredients! A good way to use it is making a proper filling which can be used in tiramisù, a Christmas cake or served as a dessert by itself with cookies or fruits.
Mascarpone has a fat content of up to 75% so make sure not to abuse of it; if you cannot find any mascarpone cheese in your area, use the cottage cheese or the clotted cream to get more or less the same result.
How to make a perfect mascarpone cream
- The eggs have to be fresh and cold otherwise the whites won't become stiff;
- You can add a pinch of bicarbonate or a dash of white wine vinegar to the egg whites to make sure that they will will become stiff;
- By adding brandy, whiskey cream or vanilla you will get a very tasty cream;
- Do not over beat the cream otherwise it will warm too much losing consistency.
In case you cannot find a good Italian mascarpone, you can use clotted cream since the amount of fat is very similar. Try to make this amazing mascarpone cream at home for Christmas and everyone will be happy!
