Mascarpone Substitute Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Mar. 26, 2013
Tried this recipe for tiramisu and did not like it. I lived in Italy for the last year and just moved back was so excited to make some and it was no good. The grocery stores around me did not have mascarpone cheese but next time i will make the drive to find the real thing. Tasted really different.

I really like this recipe. I was able to find mascarpone in the store but it was something like $9 a tub so I decided to try this. I doubled the butter (which helped get rid of the tang from the cream cheese). I also added a little sugar and vanilla to add some sweetness and flavor. I pretty much just kept tasting it till it was what I was looking for. I used it for a cheesecake recipe and it was awesome. I've also since used it as a filling for stuffed french toast and it turned out delicious! I'll definitely make it again.

I used this to substitute in for a tiramisu recipe and it didn't turn out too well. It tasted like just a lot of cream cheese. I think perhaps next time I will limit the amount of cream cheese and butter, while adding in some flavoring. Perhaps some vanilla.

This worked well as a money-saving substitute for mascarpone in the tiramisu parfaits I made for my church's fundraiser a couple days ago. The mixture still has a cream cheese flavor to it, but it's not overpowering. As my father, who detests cream cheese, said "I could tell there was cream cheese in there, but not enough to make me not like it".

Good substitute in a pinch. I used it for Tiramisu and my family didn't know the difference.

Outstanding! I used this recipe today for my tiramisu filling. I recommend the recipe as is and would not change it.

Sorry, but this taste like cream cheese which has too much "tang" to it compared to mascarpone. Not as lush & creamy either. I would only use this sub if there were no mascarpone in town. I love the real deal.
