Homemade Cream Cheese Recipe | 2 Ingredients | Baking Basics

Description:

Today, we take a look at Cream Cheese.

Cream cheese is a basic ingredient when it comes to baking.

We will show you how to make Cream Cheese using only 2 ingredients.

History:

According to Wikipedia 

Early prototypes of cream cheese are mentioned in England as early as 1583 and in France as early as 1651. Recipes are recorded soon after 1754, particularly from Lincolnshire and the southwest of England.

Recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 cups of Full-fat Milk (the more fat, the better)
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice OR white, plain vinegar

How to make

1. First, take a heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour the milk into it.
2. Put the saucepan upon a medium-high flame and let the milk simmer. Stir from time to time.
3.  Once the Milk comes to a boil (simmers) turn down the heat to a medium flame.
4. Next take 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and add it to the milk while stirring.
5. Stir the milk for a minute, then, add another tablespoon of lemon juice, stir for a minute and then add the last ,that is, the third tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk and stir.
6. Once the milk starts to 'curdle' (small balls start to form in the milk) take the saucepan off the heat.
7. Next, take a bowl. Place a sieve over it.
8. Next, you have to place a 'Cheesecloth' over the sieve. If you don't have a cheesecloth, you can use a 'Muslin' cloth.
9. Then, take your liquid (milk with curds) and pour it into the sieve with the cheesecloth on top.
10. You will notice that the liquid goes into the bowl and the cheese remains at the top.
11. Let the cheese sit in the sieve for 15 minutes so that the whey (liquid) drains away.
12. You do not want to throw away the liquid (whey) because it can be used for marinades and brine (comment for a recipe if you want one).
13. Next, put the cheese into a food processor and add some salt to it.
14. Blend the cheese until it becomes creamy and smooth.
15. This recipe will give you 8 ounces or 1 cup of cream cheese.
16. This cheese will stay in your fridge for 7 days (trust me, it will be eaten in 2-3 days)
17. The recipes that use cream cheese will be posted next Sunday.
18. Enjoy!!!
