Homemade Mascarpone

Ingredients

Lemon - ½ piece
10% cream - 17 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pour the cream into a metal saucepan and heat it in a water bath (on low heat), stirring occasionally. The cream should be heated to 167°F. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, heat it for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add the juice of half a lemon to the cream and continue to heat, stirring constantly. After about 5 minutes, the cream will start to curdle.

Step 3

Remove the cream from the heat and let it cool.

Step 4

Line a strainer with clean cheesecloth in 4-6 layers and pour the cream into it. Place it over an empty saucepan and let it drain.

Step 5

After about 2-3 hours, you will have delicious homemade mascarpone in the strainer. Transfer it to a clean glass or plastic container and store it in the refrigerator.
