Products for preparation:
- fermented baked milk (4%) – 2 packages (450 ml each).
Preparation
- Send two packages of fermented baked milk to the freezer for six hours, preferably overnight. It is necessary to achieve deep freezing of the product.
- The next day, prepare a deep bowl, place a strainer in it, and cover it with cheesecloth in 4-6 layers. You can also use cotton fabric.
- Place the frozen fermented baked milk in the strainer, having previously freed it from the package.
- Cover the fermented baked milk with the fabric and leave it on the table at room temperature until completely thawed. This may take a whole day, depending on the room temperature. Do not heat this cheese; it should thaw without intervention.
- If the cream cheese turns out to be too moist, you can place a weight on top. This way, the moisture will drain faster.
- As a result, you will have smooth and elastic cream cheese at home from fermented baked milk, which has a taste of simmered milk. It is completely unsalted and not sour, as the fermented baked milk was not heated.
Such cheese is perfect for morning coffee. You can add powdered sugar to the cheese, carefully mix it into a homogeneous mass, and get a delicious dessert with seasonal fruits.
Using the same technology, you can make cream cheese from kefir (2.5%-3.2%).
