About Mascarpone
Spoon the cheese into the cup, fill visible gaps and level gently. Do not beat it just to fill a measuring vessel; the recipe's mixing stage comes after the portion is measured.
Mascarpone is not the same ingredient as cream cheese or a sweetened dessert filling. For a tiramisu or frosting, keep the specified product and mixing order rather than assuming an equal weight guarantees the same structure.
Tips for measuring Mascarpone
- Measure before whipping or adding sugar.
- Keep the cheese at the temperature specified in the recipe.
Common mistakes
- Using the cup weight of plain mascarpone for an aerated cream.
