cream cheese recipe

This Homemade Cream Cheese recipe is super easy. It&#x27;s creamy, fluffy and tastes so much better than the store-bought version we&#x27;re all used to.

Homemade Cream Cheese

heavy cream

milk

buttermilk (shaken)

salt

liquid vegetable

In a large pot, combine heavy cream, whole milk, buttermilk and salt. Heat to 75 degrees F. (Warm to the touch.)

Mix in rennet being sure it’s evenly distributed. Cover with clean kitchen towel and allow to stand in place that’s 75 degrees for 14 hours. Just a heads up, I tried this once during the day and once at night. No surprise that the batch that sat for 14 hours during the day was MUCH better. It was just warmer and was overall a better environment for the cream cheese.

Line a fine-mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth; and then nestle it over a large bowl. Pour the cream/milk mixture into the cheesecloth and allow it to strain, on its own (don’t work it through), for about 4 hours to 5 hours. When it's completely drained, the final product should be a creamier, smoother and lighter version of cream cheese that you're probably used to. It keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks.

There’s nothing like fluffy Cream Cheese Pancakes with Fresh Berries to start your day! The combination of cream cheese and fresh berries gives the pancakes a delicate taste.

Cheesy Green Chili Chicken

Smoked cream cheese is one of the easiest and most delicious appetizer recipes out there. If you haven&#39;t tried this one yet, then you are in for a treat!

Smoked Cream Cheese (5 Ways)

cream cheese (full fat)

1- 1 1/2 tablespoons Kansas City Rub (or your favorite bottled sweet rub)

disposable aluminum pan (9" x 9")

Prepare your grill or smoker for 200 degrees F. Use your favorite pellet or add wood chips or chunks of choice.

Place unwrapped cream cheese into the pan, and season with BBQ rub.

Place the pan with cream cheese into the smoker, close the lid and let it go for 2 hours. If you&#39;d like it a little smokier, let it go an extra half an hour.

Once the cream cheese has a golden color and has cracked at the top, it is done.

Remove from the grill, let stand for 10 minutes and dig in.

Smoked Cream Cheese the Oven Method:Heat your oven to 210 degrees F.Use a 9&quot; X 9 &quot; pan and a 12&quot; piece of aluminum foil to contain the cream cheese. Score your cream cheese (as shown in our video), then brush with oil and season with your favorite rub or seasonings of choice.Create a boat-like structure around the cream cheese with the foil. Do not cover the cream cheese; you are just trying to contain it.Place it into your oven for 1 hour. After that time, check on your cream cheese. If it is soft and the rub has baked in nicely, your oven-cooked smoked cream cheese is done. If it is still solid, let it cook for another 30 minutes. Remove your cream cheese and let it stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.Yes! You read that right! You can make smoked cream cheese right in the oven.
