Mascarpone cheese

novella1186 · March 2015

Lolo's thread (or at least I think it was lolo?) about what to do with leftover ricotta cheese was full of brilliant ideas. I make that amazing ricotta-garlic-rosemary dip all the time now so thanks again for whoever posted that!

I've been meaning to ask this for a while because every so often I use a recipe that includes a very delicious cream sauce made with mascarpone cheese and then I ALWAYS have the whole container left over (the recipe uses like 1 tablespoon) and it just sits in the fridge forever till I throw it out. So I'm hoping you ladies will have some brilliant ideas for this!

I know you can make cannolis and other dessert stuff with it. What about non dessert stuff? I'm not much of a dessert person and I hardly ever bake. Ideas?

TIA!

Whaaaat?! I never would have thought of that. That sounds delicious!

This was going to be my suggestion. You could pretty much use it in place of any dish that calls for cream cheese.

Best thing ever! I think it's also good in dips, pasta (mac n cheese). I just always use it up in my potatoes haha.

My mom had French toast with marscapone at a restaurant once and couldn't stop talking about it, so I assume it was good. I know it's a sweet dish but it's technically more breakfast than dessert

I never thought of that either but it totally makes sense! Thanks! I'm really excited now!

You can do pierogies or ravioli with mascarpone! I haven't tried these yet but I want all of them in and around my mouth.

Haha I was hoping you would weigh in! FI is stupidly obsessed with that smooshed potato recipe you gave me so now I can't buy the little gold potatoes without him insisting that I make those. We ate a whole tray of them a few nights ago in about 20 seconds and then we were both too full to finish our salmon. Whoops!

Uh, I'd call that a success. So no need for the "whoops". :P

Put it in mac and cheese! Or anything that calls for cream cheese or sour cream...

I add it when I'm making whipped cream, and it makes it extra delicious.

Dude. That is so genius. My mom makes homemade whipped cream all the time. I am definitely gonna tell her to do this! (And maybe I'll get ambitious and also do this just cuz it sounds so awesome)

I used to make a variation on Eton Mess with raspberries and (slightly sweetened) mascarpone instead of strawberries and whipped cream. It was pretty amazing.

Any chance you can post the recipe? I missed the original thread.

Thank you!

This is really delicious. I don't like walnuts so I leave them out. It is a very hearty vegetarian dish, perfect for those still cool days of the spring.
