Notes

If the mascarpone is whisked too much you run the risk of it splitting or curdling. This can also happen if it gets warm.

I recommend using the mascarpone straight from the fridge, I haven't tried a brand yet that wasn't soft enough to mix immediately. Once you have the consistency you want, refrigerate until it's needed.
