Not normally; cottage cheese has a very different fat content and is slightly more acidic than heavy cream. This means they are not good substitutes.
I would say no. Mascarpone is sweet and creamy whereas ricotta is drier and bland. I would recommend you use a cream cheese (like Philadelphia) instead. You can use 8oz of Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup of Heavy whipping cream and 2 1/2 tbsp of Sour Cream and whip it together... This is VERY similar...! Just don't substitute anything in this mixture, and you should be set! Ricotta cheese is similar to cottage cheese. They can be substituted. It is also easy to make ricotta; whole milk, heavy cream, salt and white vinegar. dairy curdles. Mascarpone is similar to cream cheese just sweeter. It is used in desserts, where as the cream cheese usage would require more sugar.

Cream Cheese
Awesome Cheese Master a.k.a. Kypsta: It really depends. If you are having a really fancy party or having your boss over you should probably get a nice cheese so in this case you would probably need the Mascarpone cheese. If you were having a regular dinner you would just use cream cheese because good cheese is expensive and if you already have cream cheese then you should just use it. If you are making a recipe you should try and get some Mascarpone cheese because usein cream cheese might ruin the recipe. In this situation, if you have enough materials, you might make two of the recipe and make 1 with Mascarpone cheese and 1 with cream cheese. Here is a suggested substitute for Mascarpone which I use and it is hard to tell the difference: (8 ounce) package cream cheese * 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, * 2 1/2 tablespoons sour cream Do NOT use low or non fat versions.
You can add milk to cream cheese so it isn’t as think, then use it as substitute for sour cream
