Can You Freeze Mascarpone Cheese?

Thaw frozen mascarpone slowly in the refrigerator and use it within two months. Mascarpone may separate or break after defrosting. The cheese can often be saved by whisking it vigorously while it is still very cold.

Mascarpone is a versatile cheese that is similar to ricotta, although ricotta is generally used in savory dishes, while mascarpone is mostly associated with desserts.
