Can't get clotted cream but have mascarpone. It'll work fine on a cream scone, won't it? They taste exactly the same to me!

Mascarpone is delicious on a scone.

I’ve never quite worked out the difference. They’re both delicious.

I put it in cakes all the time

It will be fine.

Thank you! That's what I thought but the friend I'm with is pulling faces over it. 🤔🤣 She's a fussy bugger though.

I thought mascarpone is cheese ?

It will be delicious.
I often use Philadelphia with jam on a scone.. That's nice too( not cheesy at all)

It's just cream and citric acid. Tastes exactly what you he same to me (and was delicious on the scones!)

They're very different (to me) but both lovely on a scone. Clotted cream is traditional, so some people would say it's 'wrong'.

Did exactly this, this week when I couldn't get clotted cream.
