I can confirm 3 to 1 ratio works too and love how super easy it is to make.

Awesome! I was hoping it would work.

Oh my goodness this is a game changer. I just made a batch of the two to one ratio with cold water and I drank the whole thing straight from the nutri bullet. Then I did a second batch and I put some cocoa powder in it my wife and I drank the whole thing with such glee. This is amazing thank you.

I'm trying this right now! I hope it is perfect as-is, but if too sour I'll pinch in a little sweetener when I pour it. Normally I use heavy cream and water. Never considered cream cheese for "milk". Genius !

It took more then 45 mins, with every title I could think of, to find this video. This milk is absolutely wonderful. Great taste and long lasting. No sweetener, no gum. I use it for everything that calls for milk cuz I don’t like almond or other nut milks. Thanks so much

@@CookwithMel1 . I am subscribed! But I’m subscribed to a lot of keto and low carb channels and I couldn’t remember where I saw this recipe. Lol. I truly love this “milk”. I used to buy raw milk but the farm went out of business during CV. I don’t buy grocery store milk…..pasteurized and chemicals I don’t want. But this is a great replacement since I don’t like the nut milks……they’re nuts, not milk, and it tastes like nuts in water to me. But this! The closest thing I’ve come to replacing real milk…….and it does last a long time. This will always be what I use in any recipe or to drink it straight. I made a smoothie with it this morning and it was delicious. I saw many recipes with cream and sugar substitute and xanthan gum but I knew your recipe was made with cream cheese. And I was determined to find it again. I’m so glad I did. 👍👏

[@Nikepo]

I love the ingenuity of this recipe, so no hate or shade towards the creator at all. I guess I am sensitive to cream cheese "flavor". Mine has aged 2 weeks and it's still just as "sour" cream cheese tasting as the first day. I used the 2 to 1 ration with Philly Cream Cheese. I have tried putting this in a smoothies, keto granola, coffee was a HUGE no and other things and the cream cheese flavor is super pronounced. I won't be remaking this, I am only putting this here if someone else is sensitive to the flavor of cream cheese, this is doesn't taste like cream, half and half or even milk, think unsweetened liquid cheesecake. Which is delicious, but not what I wanted to drink...lol It has a very creamy texture though.

Thank you Mel for this idea! I actually already had this experiment before because here alternative milk is expensive 🫰🏻 so a few years ago I tried to dilute heavy cream, I tried Greek yogurt, tried coconut milk and cream cheese as well. Then I found out that the way I like the best is to dilute peanut butter with water and have a peanut milk. Almond milk I didn't like as much. So now I stick to peanut milk but if I have a recipe that calls for milk I always use your technique because of it's neutral flavor as the peanut one would be too strong in a recipe. Love watching your videos ❤️

[@cherylgriffin9242]

I still would prefer heavy cream cuz I don't drink milk I think it's nasty but I prefer heavy cream if I do use anything not to drink put in recipes

[@CookwithMel1]

Thanks quite alright Cheryl. It's great to explore alternatives for everyone though.

[@14buckeyeGirl]

You can just use it as a replacement for heavy cream, you don't have to drink it

[@paulhumphries3795]

Cream cheese has a low level of calcium, I think.😢

[@CookwithMel1]

Why don't you blend a calcium supplement with it?

[@CookwithMel1]

You said it first haha

[@thecarnivorecollective]

@@CookwithMel1 It definitely is worth trying because cream cheese is delicious what's not to love!

[@CookwithMel1]

That's what I thought too...thanks 😊😊😊

Unfortunate you feel people who are concerned about your health are a peanut gallery.

[@CookwithMel1]

Not at all...just sharing an idea. If you're being nasty to a stranger who is sharing their knowledge with you for nothing in return do you think maybe it's time for therapy?

[@sreddie1]

Thanks! is it good as a creamer in your coffee?

[@PinkLady54]

Try it & let everyone know what You think of it as coffee creamer 😊

[@CookwithMel1]

You can kind of tell in the close up of the hot cocoa. For me it's definitely a good coffee creamer but I agree with Beckie...let us know your thoughts ❤️
