Ingredients (Makes Mascarpone of around 340g):

500ml whipping cream

1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions :

1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a wide skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low so the water is barely simmering

.

2. Pour the cream into a medium heat-resistant bowl, then place the bowl into the skillet. Heat the cream, stirring often, to 85C. (It will take about 15 minutes of delicate heating.)

3. Add the lemon juice and continue heating the mixture, stirring gently, until the cream curdles. (Do not expect the same action as you see during ricotta cheese making. All that the whipping cream will do is become thicker)

4. Remove the bowl from the water and let cool for about 20 minutes.

5. Line a sieve(格篩) with dampened cheesecloth (我用煲湯的魚袋,就咁不剪開,就叫做兩塊,濕一濕水拎乾佢用.)and set it over a bowl. Transfer the mixture into the lined sieve. (Do not squeeze the cheese in the cheesecloth or press on its surface .Be patient, it will firm up after refrigeration time)

.

5.Once cooled completely, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate (in the sieve) overnight or up to 24 hours.
