Homemade mascarpone you can use in desserts
Ever made homemade mascarpone? If you enjoy desserts using mascarpone you should definitely start making this recipe. It needs only two ingredients and time. Use whole fat milk in this recipe to achieve that smoothness of the mascarpone.
Ingredients:
- 500 ml (17 oz) cream (from
dairy, whole fat) - 1 tbsp lemon juice
Prepare homemade mascarpone
Chose your ingredients carefully. Always use whole fat milk for making mascarpone. This is the only way to achieve the right consistency of your homemade mascarpone.
Heat the cream to 80-90 °C (175-195 °F). If you don’t have the thermometer, note this is when the bubbles are starting to appear, just before boiling. Mix in the lemon juice and heat for another 10 minutes. Stir a few times and don’t let it boil.
The cream will become thicker. Remove from heat and cool. Pour it into the Kefirko Cheese Maker mesh basket and leave in the fridge overnight to strain. You should get thick homemade mascarpone the next day.
