Homemade Marscapone Cheese
- 2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- Heat the whipping cream in a non-reactive saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- When the cream reaches 190 F (aboout 20-30 minutes), remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Continue stirring until the cream curdles, and is thick enough to generously coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Allow to sit undisturbed for 30 minutes.
- Line a sieve with several layers of dampened cheesecloth (or a clean, damp cotton/linen dishcloth) and set over a bowl.
- Pour the cooled cream mixture into the sieve, and allow to drain, undisturbed, until cooled completely.
- Cover the sieve with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, remove the cheese from the sieve in 1 piece and stir well to make smooth and creamy.
- This will keep in the fridge for 7 to 10 days.
