About this Recipe

Mascarpone is a soft, acid-set cream cheese from Italy. It is classified as a traditional agricultural product (PAT) in Italy (traditional agri- food product). Mascarpone is a fresh cream-based triple-creme cheese. This was traditionally made from the fresh milk of cows that grazed on pastures filled with fresh herbs and flowers. The best option is still fresh milk, but a great Mascarpone can also be made with store-
bought cream.

Mascarpone is thought to have originated in the Italian region of Lombardy, between Lodi and Abbiategrasso south of Milan, in the late 16th or early 17th century. The name is commonly attributed to mascarpa, an unrelated milk product made from the whey of stracchino (a young, barely aged cheese), or to mascarpia, a word in
the local dialect for ricotta. Mascarpone, unlike ricotta, is made from cream rather than whey.

A cheesecake is a sweet dessert with one or more layers. The main and thickest layer is made of a soft, fresh cheese, eggs, and sugar.

Ingredients for No Bake Mascarpone Cheesecake

Cream Cheese - ½ cup (RECIPE HERE)
Mascarpone Cheese - 1 cup (RECIPE HERE)
Sugar - ½ cup Powdered
Vanilla Essence - ¾ tsp
Gelatin - 1 tblspn
Cold Water - 3 tblspn

This cheesecake is made with mascarpone cheese and cream cheese, both are made at home so it is even more delicious but a little time consuming. If you buy it from shops, then u can make this cheesecake in a matter of minutes. The original recipe calls for whipped cream as well. But i skipped it because i thought the mascarpone cheese will give the lightness the cheesecake want and also i added a little bit gelatin to make the cheesecake set in place.

Ingredients for No Bake Mascarpone Cheesecake Recipe

Cream Cheese :
Cream cheese is a fresh, soft, smooth-tasting cheese made with cream or a milk-cream mixture. It has a mild, sweet flavour with a pleasant tang.

Mascarpone Cheese :
Mascarpone has a mildly sweet, almost nutty flavour with a fresh buttery flavour. It has a milder flavour than comparable cheeses such as ricotta and American cream cheese.

Gelatin :
Gelatine is used in some no-bake cheesecakes to give them a mousse-like texture. Cream cheese or cream cheese and whipped cream are used in other no-bake cheesecakes. This second type should firm up in the fridge without the addition of gelatine.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

Hi Aarthi

I tried making a Mascarpone Eggless Cheesecake with agar agar.The moment i started beatjng the mascarpone cheese on low speed it just curdled. Why? Because of that my entire cheesecake got spoilt and my cheesecake went waste 🙁

Is it because the cream cheese was having water content that it got curdled.

Hi Aarthi, Can I use marie biscuit instead of digestive biscuit? Also, can I used mixed dry berries? Also, I just have mascorpone cheese... Will this alone be sufficient or addition of cream cheese is necessary?
