  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 50 g natural yogurt

  • possibly vanilla sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

If you don’t have any mascarpone on hand…

Mix all ingredients with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and lump-free. Adjust the amount of yogurt to your preferred consistency; if you want it to be more runny, simply increase the amount. Depending on your recipe, you can refine the cream substitute with a squeeze of fresh lemon and sweeten with vanilla sugar. For example, we use it to make a “Fruity Layered Dessert with Cream Cheese.”
