Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, black pepper, and sea salt. Serve immediately. Gently fold the mascarpone into the yolks and sugar mixture with a spatula and set aside. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.

Because of I typically do not drink whole milk, will this work if i freeze the rest and re-se next time? Have you tried with thawed frozen milk before?

It worked out beautifully. It is so delicious! I just got the cheese made and in the fridge. And you absolutely cannot beat that price for mascarpone! Hi, thank you for the recipe. Do you know what could have gone wrong?
Thanks for your help! Try heating it slowly to avoid that problem. I then followed the recipe directions to the letter. It did not thicken as directions indicate it should have. The mixture just ran through the cheesecloth. That was this morning. My major mistake was waiting until today to try theto make Tiramisu with it. Now I have to do a chocolate cake for backup.
Someone else had this problem earlier, so I was very diligent in following your recipe. I will go back and read the response to see if there were any helpful notes.
Any suggestions on what went wrong with my attempt? Have no idea what I did wrong! Did not thicken as it should have. I cooked or simmered the cream in a double boiler homemade. Several people recommended. I put a small pan inside a larger pan with just enough water to allow to float.
Was a very short distance from water to pan holding cream. I stirred for over 15 min. Not feel it had thickened as much as expected. It was bubbling around edges and little to center. Could I have allowed it to boil too much? I then checked and was at Another 3 min and was ! I mixed the acid in 2tbsp of water. I did not double the recommended 2 tbsp. Was this a problem?

Resulted in a pudding like consistency! Used in shell stuffing recipe. I followed this recipe exactly twice and my mascarpone never thickened. Any suggestions? You write. Sorry but I disagree, English Clotted cream is a distant relative in that it is not a cheese. Try suggesting that you might substitute clotted cream for marscapone to an Italian and you had best be standing well back.
If you think marscapone is expensive—triple the price for clotted cream, once you have applied for a mortgage you will make the tiramisu and not be able to eat it because it will be far too rich. A tablespoon of clotted cream goes a very long way.
I am not trying to difficult but it is just plain folly to do it. Thank you for your time and your reply. Note the difference. And that statement is true, both respect to texture and flavor. And suggesting that creme fraiche or clotted cream can be substituted for mascarpone in one recipe does not imply it can be substituted for every recipe calling for mascarpone e.
The making of English Cornish clotted cream has nothing in common with marscapone except that the raw ingredient comes from a cow. There is nothing added to clotted cream, it is simply gently heated for a long period of time until the water component, whey has evaporated.
It is not cheese. Note the context of my comment. I used to make my own Mascapone but stopped because I ran out of the acid that did the thickening. I bought it from a cheese maker whom I lost contact with. Thanks for the information to get me going again, because it costs an arm and a leg to buy it, but it is so luscious!
