Mascarpone is a popular and rich Italian cheese used widely in culinary recipes, especially in desserts and coffee. Its smooth and creamy texture, along with a naturally sweet flavor, makes it a perfect ingredient for dishes like Tiramisu and various chocolate desserts. Typically made from cream, Mascarpone has a high-fat content, which gives it a rich taste and makes it ideal for enhancing the flavor and texture of foods.
The calorie count for 100 grams of raspberry Mascarpone cheese is 312.42 kcal.
This high calorie count is due to its rich cream content, providing substantial energy to the body. Additionally, Mascarpone cheese is rich in fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and D.
Prepare the Cream:
Choose a suitable pot and place it on a very low heat or over the steam of a boiling kettle. Add the breakfast cream to the pot. Using a double boiler method, heat the cream gently until it melts completely. Stir occasionally and check the temperature using a thermometer. The cream should reach 90°C (194°F). If you don't have a thermometer, let it heat for about 15 minutes.
Add Vinegar:
Once the cream is hot (after about 15 minutes), add white vinegar and stir until the cream starts to curdle. Remove the pot from heat.
Strain the Mixture:
Choose a suitable container and place a clean cotton cloth over it. Press the cloth gently into the container and secure it with an elastic band to hold it in place. Pour the curdled cream into the cloth and let it cool completely.
Refrigerate:
Close the lid of the container and place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to allow the cheese to set completely.
Note: The remaining liquid in the container can be used for other desserts containing cheese. Also, the homemade Mascarpone cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing Tip:
To store Mascarpone cheese in the freezer, add a small amount of sugar to the cream before making the cheese to prevent the texture from breaking down due to freezing. After 24 hours, the delicious Mascarpone cheese is ready to use. Enjoy!
