By using dried dairy cream and Lemon juice, we can make any small quantity of fresh Mascarpone Cheese anytime, less than one cup, following the stove top double boiler method of cookpad member Spicequeen. Thank you, spicequeen.
We use a little mascarpone cream cheese to make small Tiramisu desserts for two, dont want to have to buy a whole $32 pint of this expensive delicacy.

Steps

Prep 20 minutes, overnight cool

1

Fill sauce pan half with water. Put a larger glass bowl on top so that the bottom of the glass does not touch the water in the pan. With an inch of air space between the water in the pan and the bottom of the glass bowl, you now have a fool proof double boiler to make cheese, no thermometer needed.
2

Make a cup of 36% heavy cream with lukewarm water and dried cream, stir in glass bowl of the double boiler over medium heat till bubbles appear in the cream, about five minutes.
3

When bubbles form in the cream, stir in teaspoons of Meyer lemon juice one at a time till cream curdles. Pour into clean kitchen towel in collander, put in fridge, drain off the whey overnight. Save whey in freezer for cooking. Fresh creamy Mascarpone will be ready in the morning. Stays fresh 3 days.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
