Ingredients
- 450ml, Fresh Cream
- 2-3tbsp, Lemon Juice
It is so easy and quick to make mascarpone cheese at home. Has a fresher and milder taste than any store brought cheese.
- In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Once boiled, simmer and whisk in lemon juice. Keep stirring after every minute to avoid sticking on the bottom of the pan.
- Let the cream thicken for around 15mins or until it coats the back of the spoon.
- Let it cool down completely before straining it into a cheese cloth placed over a sieve. Keep a bowl below the sieve to let the excess water strain out. Place this in the fridge for 24hrs.
- Store for up to 1 week.
