Will plain cream cheese be okay as substitute for Mascarpone 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.

What is the difference between mascarpone cheese and cottage cheese?
The big difference between the two cheeses is the savory taste of the Cream Cheese vs. the sweet taste of the Mascarpone cheese. Mascarpone cheese is a bit creamier than cream cheese too. You can use cream cheese as a substitute, you may need to add a little more sugar to your recipe. This is a good substitute for Mascarpone cheese: 16 ounces cream cheese 1/3 cup sour cream 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream Blend all three ingredients together until smooth.

Yes. They main difference between cream cheese spread and cream cheese is that the spread may have been aerated, to enhance spreadability. This makes no difference when you're following a recipe with weight-based measurements (since air weighs very little), but if you're following a recipe with volume-based measurements (e.g cups), you should compact the cream cheese spread as much as possible.

Can you make cream cheese frosting without cream cheese?
Well, no, since cream cheese frosting has a lot of cream cheese in it. Could you simulate it? Hmm. you'd need something to give it the cheesy tang. Some sour cream might do it, but too much and it would be sloppy and too soft. You need the firmness. There may be a way to simulate it using well strained yogourt. If you put plan yogurt in a coffee filter in the fridge for many hours it will drain and thicken like cheese. Greek or balkan yogurt is thicker to start and might work.
