This recipe should have gone up a long time ago.
It is one of those homemade recipes that needs to be in your binder/folder/recipe box, because I'm pretty sure once you try it you may never go back to store bought cream cheese, again.
It takes but a few ingredients to turn a liter of milk into the creamiest, yummiest cream cheese you've ever tasted.
Let me show you.
Homemade Cream Cheese
1 litre milk (I used Whole Milk)
4 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
Salt to taste
Add the milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil, just when it starts to bubble up and form that skin on top. Immediately remove from heat.
Add the vinegar and stir well.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the curds start forming and separating from the liquid.
Next, pour the mixture through a strainer until you get all the liquid out. Use a spoon if you have to, to help push out all the liquid.
Put the curds in a blender, add in the butter and salt to taste and blend for 1 to 2 minutes, until it becomes a thick creamy consistency.
Give it a good stir and pour into mason jars. These will keep in your fridge for about 5 days, though I doubt they'll last that long.
I slathered the cream cheese on some fresh out of the oven sourdough bread. It was divine!!!!
Give it a go and let me know what you think. I can tell you that for my family we are not interested in store bought any longer, this one is creamier and much tastier.
Mmmm. That looks so good.
