Homemade Mascarpone Cheese





4 cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon tartaric acid

Line a mesh liner with cheesecloth folded over to make a double thickness. Rest the strainer over a bowl making sure that the strainer does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Set aside. Heat the cream in a double boiler or a bowl over boiling water, over medium heat. When the cream reaches 180F, add the tartaric acid and stir for 30 seconds.

Remove the cream from the stove and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into the prepared strainer and refrigerate. When it is cold, cover with plastic wrap. Let the cream sit in the fridge for 12 to 18 hours. It will become very thick and firm. The mascarpone will keep for 7 days in the fridge.
