Ingredients
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of fresh cream
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons of vinegar
Method
- Heat milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
- Once warm, add salt and vinegar. The mixture will curdle and separate. Remove from heat.
- Place a muslin cloth over a large sieve placed on a bowl, then pour the mixture onto it. Allow the excess whey water to drain into the bowl.
- Transfer the cheese from the muslin cloth to a blender jar and blend until smooth.
- If the texture is not smooth enough, add whey water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend for 15 seconds.
- Once desired texture is achieved, transfer to a container, cling wrap to prevent drying, and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Tips and Tricks
- Use only full-fat milk for best results.
- Try using lemon juice instead of vinegar for curdling the milk.
- If the cream cheese texture is too dry while blending, add a little whey water for a creamier outcome.
- To create a block of cream cheese, line a small baking dish with parchment paper, place the cheese in it, and cover to avoid it from drying out.
