MASCARPONE (8 OZ)

This is the first time I've tried mascarpone and it's exactly as described—rich and creamy like cake icing. Mixed it into my morning coffee for a luxurious latte that beat any creamer I've used.

I spread it on fresh figs last night and it was like eating a cloud of sweet cream. The pale-blond color and smooth, icing-like texture made it perfect for a quick dessert.

The texture is exactly like soft cake icing, and it whisked into my tiramisu filling in under a minute without any lumps. I love that it’s rich and creamy but not greasy, and it worked perfectly for both a sweet dessert and a savory mushroom sauce.
