Learn how to make fresh mascarpone at home with only two ingredients: fresh cream and lemon juice. This recipe produces a delicate, creamy mascarpone perfect for both sweet and savory dishes, far superior to store-bought versions.
Method
- Pour fresh cream (32% fat) into a small saucepan and heat to 85°C (185°F).
- Once the cream reaches 85°C, add the juice of one lemon and stir continuously while maintaining the temperature at around 85°C for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid an overly acidic taste.
- Set up a bowl with a fine-mesh strainer lined with a fine cloth or cheesecloth.
- Pour the heated cream mixture into the strainer and let it cool. Then refrigerate for about 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, the mascarpone is ready to use. Serve on bread with sugar and cinnamon for a classic snack.
