How much is mascarpone in Italy?

Is their a lactose intolerant alternative for Mascarpone cheese?

• I love tiramisu, but I hate being lactose intolerant. Is there an alternative I could use to replace the mascarpone? I also learned through research that since Mascarpone is higher in fat content that it won't bother a lactose intolerant person as much. Also I read that apparently it is the Whey that causes the reaction, which is also removed from mascarpone? Anyone have tips or more info? Thanks

• Answer:

  I have used Soya cream cheese for one, for a celiac and lactose friend, also I use a pudding with vanilla soya milk and folded Cool Whip in, you can also use a package of Dream Whip and soya milk, it is necessary to add a bit of gelatin to this helps hold it and make it mouse like, you can also use some soya yougart to extend it, everything else if fine the liquor's, ladyfingers, coffee and cocoa powder.
