An easy cheese recipe that it is, all you need is simple ingredients off your pantry to get a bowl of amazingly soft cream cheese that you can slurp both as sweet or savory. Here’s the homemade cream cheese recipe.
Cream Cheese
Time taken: 4 h
Taste-o-meter: Sour
Ingredients:
- Full cream milk: 2 l
- Fresh cream: 200 g
- Curd: 1 cup
Method:
- Line a bowl with a cheesecloth and keep ready.
- In a pan, heat milk. When the milk is just a bit over lukewarm, add the cream. Stir.
- Now, add the beaten curd and keep covered for 2-3 min.
- After a couple of hours, when you see the curd formation has happened, place it on low flame. You’ll see the curd will break immediately.
- Strain it in a muslin cloth, run water and cool it. This helps to get rid of the acidic taste.
- Next, keep it hung for about 2-3 h.
- Once the cheese has set in, blend, adjust the flavoring and slurp.
