Soft cheese spread on a slice of bread or toast is an excellent base for many breakfast options. In addition, cream cheese is used in the preparation of desserts. Therefore, learning how to make such cheese at home is a very profitable decision.
Details
In order to enjoy cream cheese, only one ingredient is needed.
If you want to try a recipe that absolutely always works for everyone, stock up on a bag of kefir. It is worth choosing a fresh fermented milk product with a high fat content.
Leave the bag of kefir in the freezer for 8-10 hours.
Remove the kefir package from the refrigerator and cut open the cellophane. Transfer the frozen kefir to a colander lined with cheesecloth, and place the colander over a saucepan or bowl to allow the liquid to drain.
After the kefir thaws, fresh curd cream will remain in the cheesecloth.
One liter of kefir makes about 240 g of cream cheese.
In addition, you will have about half a liter of whey left, which can be added to okroshka, which is so popular in the summer, or to the dough for thin pancakes.
We recommend trying two liters of kefir right away, because it's so delicious that one serving won't be enough to enjoy!
