ricotta cheese will work

Whipped heavy cream mixed with cream cheese might work.

where are you located? i'm in austin tx, i found it at central market, and at fiesta. but on a package of lady fingers i found a recipe that tells you how to substitute the mascarpone if you can't find it.....to substitute 1 lb. mascarpone, use 2 8 ox. packages of cream cheese mixed with 1/2 cup whipping cream and 5 Tbsp. sour cream.....worked for me before i found the mascarpone.

I have substituted cream cheese for mascarpone cheese in recipes at the bakery I own, and it's worked wonderfully.

You can substitute cream cheese for the Mascarpone (it isn't as good though).
