    A few years back, when the kitchen was an alien place for me, making cheese at home was the last thing that would have come to my mind. After my love to experiment and take challenges in the cooking bloomed, making cheese stroke my mind and Ricotta was the first to make an appearance. Beautiful texture, very low price as compared to the market and the flexibility of flavor the cheese got me hooked. Ricotta went into the Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Galette and a Roasted Vegetable Galette. It was Malai paneer and creme fraiche after that and success made me a little more confident. Made a delicious Pasta with Creme fraiche and it was liked by all.

    Then I ventured into making Mascarpone and it was a hit too. We gobbled the first batch immediately and got no time to click the pics. So attempted it again and made sure I could click a few pics before we indulge in it.   Now that I have made it at home twice and know that it is so easy to make, I would never ever buy it from the market. Almost 14th the cost and you get a creamy, luscious Mascorpone in just a matter of few hours. I made a delicious dip with it using sun-dried tomatoes and basil and topped it on a slice of bread. You can also enjoy this dip with crackers. Here is a quick recipe for making Home Made Mascarpone Cheese, once your prepare it, do not forgot to tweet your thoughts about this creamy delight, I am already looking forward to hearing from you all:   You might also like   Sour Cream

      Now that’s very easy and I was thinking it was quite difficult to make at home.

      Hey Neha, I stumbled upon your blog looking for I don’t really remember what now.. 😛 I know it sounds stupid.. I’m a blogger too & I do a lot of blog hopping.. I have been meaning to try making Mascarpone at home.. & thanks for such a well explained recipe.. I just had one doubt what do you mean by coffee filters? Are they the Indian filter coffee vessels or you mean the something else?

      Hey Neha, I just made the mascarpone & put it in the fridge. Hope it turns out well. Tried with just about 200ml cream, but I guess I added a wee bit extra lemon juice, its a lil sour..
