Ingredients: • 4 cups whole milk • 2–3 tbsp lemon juice OR white vinegar • ½ tsp salt, or to taste • 1–2 tbsp heavy cream or milk — optional, for a creamier texture Directions: 1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s steaming and just beginning to simmer. Don’t let it aggressively boil. 2. Lower the heat and gradually stir in the lemon juice or vinegar. 3. Continue gently stirring until the milk separates into curds and whey. 4. Remove from heat and let sit about 5–10 minutes. 5. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer and allow the whey to drain. 6. Transfer the curds to a blender or food processor. 7. Add salt and blend until smooth. Add a little cream or milk if you want it creamier. 8. Refrigerate in a clean airtight container. 🧊 Storage: For the safest homemade version, refrigerate promptly and aim to use within about 5 days. #HomemadeCreamCheese #CreamCheeseRecipe #FromScratchCooking #HomemadeRecipes #FoodTok
