Substitute for Mascarpone Cheese

"Okay, okay I know. True tiramisu uses mascarpone, but just in case your local Safeway or whatever doesn't carry it, which is often the case, this is a good substitute. I used it in Emeril's tiramisu recipe and it came out very nicely. Just thought this might help someone."

  1. Do you know how hard it is to find mascarpone cheese where I live? It's easier to find a unicorn! I made a batch of tiramisu this past weekend and used this substitute. Served it to some discerning food snobs, and it got a thumbs up from everyone, and a request for seconds. One friend asked me where I had managed to find mascarpone in our culinary dessert. I just sat back and smiled. This will be our secret, Kevin, thanks! Next time I'm going to try it with a lower-fat cream cheese.
     
  2. Had all of the ingredients already and making this was a snap. Worked well in my recipe. I'm going to print and save for later.
     
  3. This will be every helpful! I've been trying to figure out how to make a vegan version and this is perfect for what I'll need to substitute!!! Best recipe I've found yet!
     
  4. This came through in a pinch when I needed Mascarpone for Tiramisu cupcakes. I could eat this all day long. Thank you Kevin.
     
  5. I should have known better... worst tiramisu ever. Tiramisu cheesecake maybe... how can anyone claim this tastes like mascarpone???

Next to my family hockey is my favorite thing in the world, watching, playing, anything to do with hockey, in particular my sons hockey and the Vancouver Canucks. After hockey cooking is the other thing I really enjoy. I'm very open to trying new foods of all cuisines, however the one thing I refuse to try is balut. I could not see myself trying it without MUCH help from a bottle of something very strong.
