Mascarpone Cheese Substitute

When I went to the store to buy the ingredients for my Strawberry cupcakes, I could not find any mascarpone cheese. When the recipe was posted on the forum someone posted this substitute. Luckly I was smart enough to print it off too!

Ingredients:
1 (8 oz. package) packages cream cheese
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons whipping cream

Directions:
Allow cream cheese and butter to reach room temperature.

Beat until the sour cream is incorporated, add whipping cream and beat just until thoroughly blended.

If you need to store leftover "mascarpone", keep refrigerated in tightly sealed containers filled as full as possible.

On partly filled containers, putting a layer of plastic wrap directly on the cheese before sealing keeps it fresh longer.

"Let cream cheese and butter come to room temperature" but I don't see butter listed as an ingredient. Is something missing?
