 Twinkle, these sound wonderful. I've got a recipe for homemade mascarpone that I've wanted to try too so maybe I'll make these using the homemade mascarpone.

Here is the recipe, but I might try it with half and half instead of heavy cream.

Mascarpone

2 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon tartaric acid

Heat cream in a heavy saucepan to 180 degrees F. over medium-high heat, being careful that it does not scorch. Remove from heat as soon as it comes up to temperature and stir in the tartaric acid. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a glass or plastic container and refrigerate for 2 hours. At this point, it should have thickened significantly. Set a sieve over a bowl and line it with a triple thickness of cheesecloth and pour in mascarpone. Let drain for an additional 10 hours in the refrigerator.

thank you chefly for the mascarpone recipe - i will print that  - i am jsut lucky we get mascarpone in every supermarket for next to nothing here... have a lovely weekend.

BTW how is DD doing? i read you depression thread and never posted anything i hope she feels better. Hugs twinkle

 Twinkle, you are lucky. I can get it at only one store and they are the same store that sells the tartaric acid.

DD is doing better. Since she started practicing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) she hasn't had a nightmare. I'm not sure if the supplements are helping. Once the bottles are empty I'll have her just do the EFT and we will see if there is a change. Thank you for asking.
