What Can I Use Mascarpone For?

Question Forum

I recently bought a tub of mascarpone cheese, but I’m not quite sure what to do with it! I’ve heard it’s delicious, but I need some ideas on how to use it in recipes or dishes.

Can anyone share some of their favorite recipes or ways to incorporate mascarpone into meals or desserts? I’m open to both sweet and savory options :yum:

Hi there,
Mascarpone is versatile: use it in desserts like tiramisu and cheesecake, as a creamy pasta sauce base, in savory dishes like risotto, or as a spread for toast.

For me, I make all of my cheesecakes with mascarpone and ricotta. I dislike cheesecake that has Philadelphia cream cheese. I use a combination of the other two. People seem to love my cheesecakes, so it must be working.
