Servings: 4 people
Author: Lama

Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk full fat
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
