Servings: 4 people
Author: Lama
- 4 cups whole milk full fat
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium sauce pan heat the milk on medium high heat stirring consistently until milk begins to boil.
Lower the heat to medium then add in lemon juice slowly, 1 tablespoon, 1 minute at a time while stirring consistently to avoid burning.
Once the milk curdles, the fat has separated from the whey completely, and floats to the surface, then you can remove from the heat.
Place a cheesecloth or 3 layers of paper towel over a large strainer then slowly pour in the mixture.
After 20 minutes place the curds into food processor and run it for about 4-5 minutes, or until soft and creamy.
How to store: Place cream cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for up to 2-3 weeks.
Notes: you can add salt or any herbs to your cream cheese to add more flavor.
