@ashleyandtheapron: Homemade Cream Cheese only 3 ingredients and less than 20 minutes to make! 1 gallon whole milk 6-8 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar 1-1¼ tsp salt (to taste) Here's how to make it: Pour the milk into a large pot and heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a gentle simmer (about 180-190°F). Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in 6 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit 5-10 minutes. If the whey isn't clearly separating to form curds, add the remaining 1-2 tosp acid. Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour in the curds. Drain 15 minutes depending on how thick you want it. Save the whey! Transfer curds to a blender or food processor, add salt, and blend until smooth and creamy. If it's too dry, add 1-3 tosp whey back in. Chill in the fridge to firm up. I store about 1/2 cup in the fridge at a time and freeze the rest! #homemade #creamcheese #homemadefood #betterthanstorebought #foodpantry
