Home Made Cream Cheese

HOME MADE CREAM CHEESE
This is fun to make, quick as well as surprisingly tasty !! It exclusively takes three ingredients as well as makes almost five 1/2 ounces of cream cheese.

4 cups WHOLE milk
2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (see greenback below)
1/4 teaspoon tabular array table salt (OR) 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt

 Use a heavy saucepan (so it doesn't scorch), oestrus the milk (stirring constantly) until it comes to a boil.

 Once it starts to boil, plough the oestrus downwards to medium (keep stirring) as well as add together the lemon juice one tablespoon at a time...........waiting 1 infinitesimal betwixt each add-on (important, operate on stirring). (see greenback below close total of lemon juice.

 Fairly rapidly (less than a minute) the milk volition outset to curdle as well as the curds volition float, leaving a fairly clear, faint greenish liquid nether the curds.  

 Pour everything through a strainer that is lined alongside cheesecloth. Let it stain as well as cool for close xx minutes. The strained curds volition await similar this:

After the curds get got drained as well as cooled, position them inwards a nutrient processor as well as procedure for close three minutes, or until real smooth.  Add the tabular array salt as well as procedure for roughly other fifteen (or so) seconds. 
Cover tightly as well as chill.
This recipe makes almost five 1/2 ounces 
of cream cheese

Note close the lemon juice: With the WHOLE MILK that I use, it exclusively takes two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to larn perfect curds, but yous mightiness need that third tablespoons alongside a dissimilar construct of milk (just get got that third tablespoon ready, only inwards case).

 There is no lemon flavour inwards this finished cream cheese. If yous are going to add together herbs or other flavors, add together them earlier yous chill the cheese.

 Store inwards fridge.
ENJOY !!!
