Homemade Mascarpone Cheese
Ingredients:
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
lemon juice, raw
Directions:
Pour whipping cream into a heavy glass bowl; submerge in water (up to the level of the cream in the bowl) in a saucepan.
Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat until cream reaches 190 degrees (just below the boiling point - it will be very frothy and steamy), stirring frequently.
I had a little trouble getting mine quite that hot, so I popped the bowl in the microwave for a few seconds.
Keeping bowl in the water, pour in lemon juice and stir continuously until cream becomes very thick and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Line a fine-mesh strainer or sieve with a coffee filter (you'll need more than one if you double the recipe) and suspend over a bowl.
Pour in thickened cream.
Once cream cools completely, move the strainer and bowl to the refrigerator.
24 hours later, peel off the coffee filter and put your finished cheese in a container.
Or if you're impatient and don't mind it a bit less firm, you can remove it sooner!
Makes about 6 oz.
