Mascarpone as sub for clotted cream?

[Kim Shook]

I am watching "Barefoot Contessa" and she just suggested using mascarpone as a substitute for clotted cream.  I Googled it and found lots of suggestions for mascarpone plus whipping cream and some suggesting a little sugar.  Has anyone tried this?  I fell in love with clotted cream in England and would love to find something here that I could use.

I have tried this.  It's nice.  It's not clotted cream.

I've tried some of the recipes on this website with success including making cream cheese and cottage cheese.  Here the chef gives a recipe for making clotted cream.  I've not tried it.  I have no idea of what clotted cream even tastes like...but you could try it. https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/clotted-cream-recipe/
