Check the "use by" date on the package for storage time, but it's generally a week. Mascarpone tends to go bad quickly, so use an open container within a few days; return any unused portion to the fridge with the lid tightly sealed. If it develops mold or if its aroma or color is off, discard the entire package.

Using mascarpone that is too cold can cause curdling. Let it sit out for 15-20 minutes before using.

Mascarpone vs.

Cream cheese contains at least 33% milk fat, and mascarpone may contain 60-75% milk fat. Mascarpone has a buttery flavor that makes it particularly suitable for desserts. It adds richness and a creamy texture, while cream cheese brings a creamy consistency and slightly tangy taste to dishes.

Mascarpone is an ingredient of some famous Italian desserts like tiramisu. Mascarpone is not the best choice for your heart health as it's one of the highest fat cheeses (44 per cent, of which 30 per cent is saturated).

Even if you've frozen it once, it may be difficult to maintain its original texture and creamy taste. Due to its sensitivity to freezing, we advise against refreezing mascarpone. It's possible to fix the texture of mascarpone cheese once by mixing it with a proper mix.

If you accidentally over-beat mascarpone frosting after adding the heavy cream it might begin to look curdled and ``split'' or separate. To fix it, continue to beat the frosting on low speed while you very slowly add more heavy cream. Add only enough cream to bring the frosting back to a creamy, cohesive consistency.

If the mixture has not been sufficiently heated, the network isn't as stable and will eventually break down, turning the icing runny. To ensure that your icing lasts as long as the cake, make sure to stick your thermometer deep into the center of the egg white mixture.

Add small amounts of ingredients like powdered sugar, cornstarch, gelatin, heavy whipping cream, or cream cheese to make your frosting less runny. For flavored frostings, ingredients like cocoa powder and peanut butter can also work. When your frosting is the right consistency, it'll be easy to spread or pipe.

Overbeating cream cheese frosting can make it too runny. When all the sugar is incorporated into the frosting, don't beat it for much longer to avoid overbeating.

Don't over-whip it – once it just reaches stiff peaks, then stop. Over-whipped cream will first turn grainy and then to butter. Cream will roughly double in size when whipped. Cream whipped in a food processor with a blade won't be as light and fluffy as cream that is whisked.

Mascarpone must be kept in the fridge at all times, even if you haven't opened the package yet. Unlike aged, hard cheeses, mascarpone is not shelf-stable. Alternatively, you can freeze mascarpone. Place it in an air-tight container and leave it in the freezer for up to 4 months.
