Use the highest quality heavy cream you can find for the best flavor and texture. Don't let the cream boil, as this can affect the final texture of the mascarpone. If you don't have cheesecloth, a clean tea towel can be used as a substitute. For a richer flavor, try using Meyer lemon juice. The longer the mascarpone chills, the thicker and more flavorful it will become. Overnight chilling is highly recommended.
