1. As a substitute for mascarpone cheese: combine 1 eight-ounce package cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream and two tablespoons whipping cream; mix until blended and fluffy. 2. May substitute "Brandied Espresso" for coffee liqueur. Make by combining 1/2 cup of hot water and 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules; stir until granules are dissolved; blend in one teaspoon brandy. 3. We use Hersheys Milk Chocolate and run it through a rotary cheese grater.
