Preparation procedure
- Preparing the cheesecloth: Fold the cheesecloth so it is at least triple-layered, and place it into a filter (sieve).
- Preparing the cream: Carefully pour the cold sour cream you've stored in the refrigerator into the cheesecloth placed in the filter.
- Applying pressure: Tightly secure the cheesecloth around the cream so the whey can separate well. Place a weight of 2 to 4 kg on the cheesecloth and put everything back into the refrigerator.
- Draining: Leave the cream under pressure in the refrigerator for 72 hours. During this time the whey will separate into the bowl under the filter, and you will get a smooth and delicious homemade mascarpone.
- Storage: Store mascarpone in the refrigerator, but use it more quickly than commercially produced products, as homemade dairy has a shorter shelf life.
