What is a substitute for mascarpone cheese?

Question

I've found mascarpone cheese can be pricey. What would be a good (in taste and price) substitute?

Answer

I found a highly rated mascarpone cheese substitute recipe on food.com. I haven't personally tried it, but it's highly rated on that site, and is ridiculously simple.

• 1 16 oz block of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

• Blend until smooth

Try it and let us know? :)
