Mascarpone frosting... touch of powder sugar, a few drops of lemon juice and vanilla. Basically like cream cheese frosting, but with mascarpone. It's leagues better, it's just so decadent and rich. You'll want to stuff your face with it, but remember it's much like eating butter with a spoon. So either restrain yourself or have a bunch of lettuce ready! Oh and a little trick that was shared with me by a lovely young Slovakian lady from a village nearby. She makes the best cakes I've ever tried. She made the wedding cake for our.. well wedding :D For all sorts of creamy fillings where you'd normally use butter, substitute the butter with mascarpone. It's pretty much same % of fat (and price, at least in this part of the world) but it turns out much lighter and smoother. Of course, you gotta use butter for the crust and other stuff. Butter makes everything better. Cheers

When I was a kid, living in South Africa, my dad would sometimes take us to an Italian bakery for eclairs. They were filled with "sour cream", rather than pastry cream. I've always wondered what that was because it wasn't the sour cream we know now. Now I'm thinking it was whipped sweetened mascarpone. I'm going to try whipping it to see how it turns out.

When I lived in Canada about ten years ago, my Italian friend gave me her recipe for tiramisu. It took me years before I actually made it, in large part because I needed so much mascarpone and it was something like $5 per small tub at the local grocery store. Chef John, you just blew this thing wide open for me! Cannot wait to give it a try. (I am wondering though, can I use my yogurt strainer or is it behoovy to use the towel method?)
@mfhulskemper2 жыл бұрын
You could well try one of those -- the beauty of these lighter, unripened cheeses is that you're very unlikely to make a catastrophic error. ; ) Don't forget to test for moisture content, though, because it may still be a bit too high in those ultrafine strainers. Then it either needs a little more time, or a cloth transfer. I say make the first run two days in advance, and have something handy to store in the fridge, and you should be fine. For every run afterwards, you'll know how long (or what) it needs.

So, thanks to you (and that other baguette fellow) I think I will be making baguettes and mascarpone tomorrow night, so both can sit overnight and be ready in time for breakfast Tuesday morning!!!

I’m not sure how anyone else does it, but I have a towel I use specifically for straining some foods and made the mistake of washing it with the laundry once. Although it was clean, it smelled like fabric softener which transferred to the food. So now I just wash it in a bowl with scent free dish soap, rinse well, then boil it in a pot of water then hang dry. If you use scent free products in your laundry and remove the towel before you add fabric softener (just to avoid the waxy residue it leaves on fabric), it should be fine. 🙂
