Use it the same way. Cheesecake cake was made from mascapone years ago.

This is the easy peasy cheesecake recipe I use (I think I may have even got it off here a few years back . I get so many cooking ideas here, it's great).This recipe does have both cream cheese and marscapone in it though.It is really rich so I tend to only make it very occasionally (usually Christmas or some other special occasion) and serve with lots of fresh fruit.

Base
100 grams Digestive biscuits
50 grams butter

Filling
2 lemons (rind and juice)
100 grams raw brown sugar
1/4 pint cream
12 oz cream cheese
12 oz mascarpone
Fresh fruit to garnish

Crush biscuits, add melted butter.Press into 8" loose bottom flan dish.Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Grate rind from lemon, squeeze juice, mix with sugar.Beat well.Slowly beat in the cheeses and mix until smooth.Whip the cream and then fold into the cheese mix.Spread mix over biscuit base, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.Transfer to serving dish and decorate with fruit of your choice.
