emoHungry sounds really good. didyou sub cream cheese for the other? what exactly is mascarpone ?</p>

is the cream cheese very noticeable? (taste wise)</p>

I really don't know if I have ever used any mascarpone cheese. I am thinking it may be a cheese in the deli. I just always use cream cheese in any recipe that calls for mascarpone. Do you not like cream cheese? With all the whipping cream and other things in that recipe it just sorta blends in. It all just tastes blended. It is not bitter if that is what you are thinking. Mascarpone, I looked it up in Webster, I guess he never ate that, it isn't in there! Oh well.
Really hope this helps, if you are thinking you can just taste the cream cheese then I don't think so.
Thank you for your question and I hope that I helped a little bit. It just tastes like a oooie gooie mess!....................Martie

thanks <strike>Hal</strike>,Martie,and no I am not to fond of the way cream cheese taste, cheesecake, turtle cheesecake, other various foods which I can't think of right off the top of my head, any thing with the cream cheese, it has to be "disguised" or I'll taste it the instant it touches my mouth, If I am unaware of it , I'll eat it, and the above recipe sounds REALLY GOOD!!! I'm gonna try and round up the stuff to make it this weekend thanks again

There is something wrong with someone who doesn't like cheezcake. Add some strawberry topping to mask the taste.emoLaugh
