One day I needed Mascarpone cheese to go with some berries and I looked in 3 of our 4 small towns and none was to be had so I came up with this easy version. For the flavor I used vanilla but lemon would do. This came out to only 545 calories for the whle batch. Ingredients:
4 ounces neufchatel cheese |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon real vanilla |
Directions:
1. Using an electric hand mixer, cream the cheese slightly then add all the remaining ingredients. Beat 1 or 2 minutes watching carefully so that the texture thickens slightly but not turning to butter.
2. Yield is about 1 and 1/3 cups.
