Why did my tiramisù cream become grainy?

Is it possible to make homemade mascarpone?

I had a piece of tiramisu that had a layer of mascarpone that really balanced the other flavors out perfectly. At the grocery store it's sold in such little/expensive containers I was looking for an alternative homemade version - any ideas?

Mascarpone left outside fridge overnight - still usable?

I forgot the mascarpone yesterday, so it sat in my bag in the living room for half a day and the night, instead of in the fridge. The question is, of course, is it still ok to use? It looks fine, of course, or I wouldn't be asking.
