Common Questions
Can I substitute cream cheese for mascarpone?
In a pinch: Mix 85g cream cheese + 15ml heavy cream. Not identical (tangier, less creamy) but works for small batches.
How long does opened mascarpone last?
5-7 days refrigerated in sealed container. Smell test: should smell fresh and milky. Discard if sour or moldy.
Can I freeze leftover mascarpone?
Not recommended. Texture becomes grainy when thawed. Use within a week for best results.
