  • 2 lemon juice                            tbspmethod:

Directions

  • Place the cream in a heavy bottom pan.
  • Heat the cream on a very low flame, stir occasionally.  Don’t scorch the bottom.
  • Let it simmer on low flame, don’t allow it to get a boil (If you have a candy thermometer, monitor the temperature.  It should not go beyond 190 degrees farenheit)  This should take around 8 to 10 minutes
  • Slowly add lemon juice and stir.  Allow it to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.  Cream will become thick and it will coat the back of the spoon.
  • Take it off the flame and let it rest for 30mins
  • Line the strainer with 6 layers of cheese cloth and place it over an empty bowl.
  • Refrigerate it for 10 to 12 hours or overnight.
  • Whey will be collected in the bowl.  Discard this whey.
  • Scrap your mascarpone from the cheese cloth.
