Think of mascarpone as a sweet step above a dollop of Greek yogurt. It’s especially good on top of naturally sweeter soups, like butternut squash.

Icebox cake is the cake for people who hate baking. Take cookies, something creamy, layer them up and let chill in the fridge. Use thick mascarpone to give the cake a little more structural integrity than whipped cream.
*16. BREAD LOVERS*
Slap it on a bagel with cream cheese—the words along turn grown adults into maniacs. Swap out the cream cheese for a mascarpone to make everyone into refined maniacs.*17. ADD IT TO BANANA BREAD*
Instead of folding sour cream into the batter, use room temperature mascarpone to give the bread a little extra moisture and a deeper, denser, flavor.*18. SWIRL INTO A GRATIN FILLING*
A gratin is a one-dish cold weather go-to that gets better the gooier it gets. But if you want to overachieve with your cheesy casserole dish, add a healthy couple of dollops to the mixture before it bakes.*19. MASCARPONE-SWIRLED BROWNIES WITH NUTTY CARAMEL CORN*
Why yes, these brownies DO have it all! The tangy mascarpone pairs perfectly with the fudgy chocolate, and the peanut-popcorn clusters add the ultimate crunch.

You can try a similar trick with mashed potatoes. Because if mashed potatoes work with sour cream or France’s crème fraîche, they can definitely work with Italy’s answer, mascarpone.
