Sugar Free Mascarpone

Mascarpone is not a cheese that we eat on a daily basis.
I have a hard time finding Mascarpone my local grocery store. However, I see it all of the time in desserts. To be honest, I always thought that is was more of a dessert cream filling than a cheese.

This Mascarpone recipe is the second part of a series of three related posts.
I am working my way towards making a whole Sugar Free Tiramisu. I recently featured the the Lady Fingers recipe and will soon feature the end product- Tiramisu when I combine it all together. on.

Mascarpone is actually an easy recipe to make.

You only need a few ingredients to make it with. However, Mascarpone is such a vital part of so many desserts including Tiramisu. The Mascarpone acts like the mortar which keeps the other ingredients together and balances out the other flavors while it does it.

This recipe calls for heavy cream.
