Okay, okay I know. True tiramisu uses mascarpone, but just in case your local Safeway or whatever doesn't carry it, which is often the case, this is a good substitute. I used it in Emeril's tiramisu recipe and it came out very nicely. Just thought this might help someone.

Blend all three ingredients together until smooth.

Do you know how hard it is to find mascarpone cheese where I live?  It's easier to find a unicorn!  I made a batch of tiramisu this past weekend and used this substitute.  Served it to some discerning food snobs, and it got a thumbs up from everyone, and a request for seconds.  One friend asked me where I had managed to find mascarpone in our culinary dessert.  I just sat back and smiled.  This will be our secret, Kevin, thanks!  Next time I'm going to try it with a lower-fat cream cheese.
