HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE AT HOME!! KITCHEN BASICS!!

A few weeks ago I shared a quick video on how to make whipped cream cheese from a brick of regular cream cheese. In that video I mentioned that it is pretty easy to make your own cream cheese and asked you to tell me if you wanted to see a video of that. The response was overwhelming! YES! You all wanted to see how to make cream cheese! Today we are doing just that! You might not know how easy it is to make a simple, spreadable, cream cheese, or what would technically be called "farmer's cheese", once upon a time! So come along for the ride and learn how easy you can make this old fashioned cheese!
Seems that supply chain issues have caused cream cheese to be a scares commodity. Some stores are either out or have low, low stock and as a result are limiting people to two bricks at a time. If you are a lover of cream cheese or want to make a recipe that contains it, only to find out you can't find it anywhere you will be disappointed, not to worry though, with a little time, effort and a few simple ingredients, you will see that cream cheese is very easy to make!
In the end this cream cheese is silky smooth and delicious. While you can enjoy it right away on crackers or as a spread, I recommend that you refrigerate for at least a couple of days to allow the cheese to cure somewhat and develop in flavor and not have such an acidic taste from the lemon juice or vinegar. It can transfer a bit but it will dissipate over time.
I will be attempting to make a few recipes with this cheese to see if it will work as a baked cheesecake as well as a no bake cheese cake. We will take you along for those as well to see how they turn out!
I hope this inspires you to try making your own cream cheese at home and I hope that you love it as much as we do!
Happy Eating!

[@doggoneme3863]

Thank you so much for this. I would perfer homemade over processed any day. ❤

[@helenskidzevicius7202]

I'm very interested in making this. I was thinking of adding Lacteze drops to the cream etc to make it lactose free. Then do the cream cheese from that.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

There is no need to do this. When making cheese the lactose is passed on into the whey/waste.

[@henrycooks1883]

While it is straining if you with the sprayer on your sink using cool water gently rinse the curds it helps eliminate that lemon or vinegar taste. I have made cream cheese before but never done it with buttermilk, interesting.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I don't recommend washing the curd, this does not have an offensive taste when it has cured at all.

[@pallavispoint]

Nyc video 😊

[@picantesworld7723]

Noreen thank you Very shocked. Using it. For Keto stuff and I couldn't find it for a bit.

[@acapyolo8487]

so what function for the whipping cream in ingredients? is it for texture or just for taste and aroma?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

It’s for the butterfat which is necessary for this to turn into cheese and be smooth and creamy.

[@vahneb7260]

I’m curious about the cost. The price of the creams and milk by me would triple the price of making it rather than purchasing the cream cheese. It would be a fun recipe to try. Thanks it was a wonderful video.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I explained at the end. This is not cheaper. That is not the purpose. It is definitely more expensive but if you cannot obtain commercial cream cheese this is how you make it. Not everything homemade is cheaper. Better but not cheaper

[@dianatennant4346]

Looking forward to these new videos how long do you feel it should cure I know you said your other one was in five or six days is that kind of the right amount of time or longer than that or shorter than that?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

At least 24 hours it is better after a few days

[@dianatennant4346]

[@kimcook6256]

Hi.. I just have a few ?.. Can I make my own butte milk,, Also can I use white vinegar ( we don’t have apple cider vinegar here , it’s hard to find, Thank you ,, I love your Chanel ❤️❤️

[@acapyolo8487]

when i make my cream cheese its become grainy? help me to solve , i want smooth texture ..

[@Ranchmoma]

Wow amazing. So everytime I buy Philadelphia, I feel like I taste lemon. Does anyone else taste that? If so, do you think maybe it's because they use lemon instead of vinegar? Maybe I can try it that way

[@lindaphueston9024]

I will try Cream Cheese and see if I taste the lemon.

[@dawnalcorn4385]

Do you have to have full fat buttermilk or is low fat ok. I have a difficult time finding full fat.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

You need full fat buttermilk.

[@KillerBebe]

Is there any use for the whey? I hear about it is in a lot of protein powder.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Not with this recipe. Too acidic for smoothies and plants. Just dump it.

[@KillerBebe]

@@noreenskitchenchannel thanks 👍

[@moniquem783]

What is the yield of this recipe? Those 2 containers? What capacity are they? If you happened to weigh the finished product that would be even better! Love your nails btw. Beautifully shaped 😊

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

About 4 cups or 2 pounds of cream cheese. Thanks for the nail compliment.

[@moniquem783]

@@noreenskitchenchannel oh that’s not bad! I don’t use cream cheese that often but when I do I need a lot so that will work nicely. I’ve saved the recipe. I’m in the process of getting my suburban house on the market so I can buy a little homestead out in the countryside. I’m planning to get a cow pretty quickly so I can make all my own dairy. I’m especially excited about making hard cheeses but soft cheeses are important too. I’ve done basic farmhouse style ricotta/paneer and halloumi here, but this kitchen really doesn’t work for making cheese. My next kitchen will be much bigger! I love that nail shape. I can’t do it as mine are too curved and it never quite works, but I always admire it when I see it done well. The polish is impeccable too 💅🏻 😊

[@LadyWeasel]

Do you possibly know what to do when you have several blocks of cream cheese that you didn't know would separate after it's been frozen. Asking for a friend.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

You can keep them frozen. When they thaw. Remove the excess water. Place in a bowl with a couple tablespoons on heavy cream and whip. You can still use this in this gs like a cheese all or a no bake cheesecake or to add to soups or things like beef stroganoff. Not a loss. You just need to be creative.

[@gaile2241]

This is nice but we have also had shortages of half and half where I live.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Then you can use equal parts of whole milk and heavy cream.

[@gaile2241]

Excellent, thank you so much

[@karolannlatimer875]

Can it be frozen?

[@karolannlatimer875]

Oops just heard the answer

[@sheilarogers3448]

Check out all uses for the whey

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I am aware. This whey is much to acidic to save.

[@sheilarogers3448]

@@noreenskitchenchannel that’s to bad. But hope the cheese came out even better then it looked

CAN CREAMCHEESE BE FROZEN

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I covered that in the video. In the description and in the printed recipe. No it cannot be frozen.

[@VincentVader]

I understand if you can't find it but the ingredients alone are 3 times the cost of cream cheese.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

i said in the video it wasn't cheaper. Sometimes its nice to know how to make things from scratch. If you need it and don't have access to it then you will need that information.

[@ayakashioni1336]

My name is Linda Lewis my son had to make me a different Facebook account and it's on his account I miss seeing you in making things

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I never show myself. Or I rarely do

[@geemann8021]

How about - Powdered Milk + Powdered Butter + Butter Milk Powder = Cream Cheese? If Powdered Milk works for making yogurt, why not?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I have not done it. The cost to make it with long term food storage would be prohibitive. In an emergency situation when you would have no choice but to use that long term option I am fairly certain making cream cheese would be a sheer luxury and perhaps even a waste of precious nutritious ingredient. I honestly would not even bother.

[@jomurphey]

Did you dump all that whey??!! Why not make ricotta cheese with it? or feed your houseplants?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

You cannot make ricotta out of this whey. I have used all the milk solids. There is nothing left. There is too much acid I. This whey to use it in smoothies or water your plants. Yes I dumped it. It’s of no use to me.

[@severahgarcia5882]

It is better and cheaper to just buy the cream cheese!!
