Mascarpone is an Italian cheese which is used for making the famous desserts Tiramisu and Charlotte..Its an expensive cheese which can be made with just 2 ingredients in the comforts of your home at a very minimal cost.
All you need is
All you need is
- 1 litre cream (i used amul)
- 1 lime.
- Empty the cream in one bowl place the bowl over double boiler and let it boil.
- It will take about 15 min ..It wont exactly boil like milk but you will see bubbles at the edges.
- Squeeze the lime in the cream and continue heating stirring it with a wooden spoon.
- it will start to curdle not exactly as it curdles while making paneer but it will thicken and cover back of the spoon like custard.
- Remove the bowl from water and let it cool for 30- 4o min.
- Meanwhile, line a sieve with layers of cheesecloth and set it over a bowl.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined sieve. Do not squeeze the cheese in the cheesecloth or press on its surface (be patient, it will firm up after refrigeration time).
- Once cooled completely, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate (in the sieve) overnight or up to 24 hours.
