Mascarpone cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use cream cheese as a substitute, but the texture and flavor will be slightly different. For a lighter option, ricotta (strained) can work, though it may be less creamy.
Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving if it separates slightly.
Yes, as long as the mascarpone and other ingredients used are vegetarian-friendly (check labels for additives like rennet).
Yes, but prepare it no more than a day in advance for best texture. Cover tightly to prevent drying or absorbing fridge odors.
If lumps form, gently fold the cream with a spatula or whisk by hand. Avoid overmixing, as it can become grainy.
Freezing is not recommended, as it may separate and lose its smooth texture when thawed.
Replace powdered sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol, powdered and adjusted to taste.
Use it as a cake filling, fruit dip, pancake topping, or layered in parfaits with berries and granola.
