Its not...theres a difference between cottage cheese (paneer) and cream cheese. Cream cheese is made with heavy cream and milk so that theres high fat content. The recipe shown here is very low in fat content and wont have the original creaminess

It's not the same. You don't whip ricotta cheese AKA paneer cheese. It's made with 3 cups and one cup of heavy cream . And It needs to hang in the cheesecloth for at least 2 hours. That process gives it a much different flavor and texture.

I do it with home made yogurt in place of lemon juice.The same procedure first boil milk and here I use low fat milk for health reasons.If you a cup of yogurt start with boiling 4 cups of milk.You won't be getting lemony paneer and whey.

Adi Xoxo paneer is an Indian name for cottage cheese or say cream cheese.You can drain whey in a sieve similarly and keep in a fridge still in the sieve for an hour to make small cubes out of it .Use as a tofu or make famous palak(spinach) paneer.

[@nereidetriton443]

I want to clarify something here. Many people living in different countries dont have access to cream. If they dont have cream or its too expensive then how will they get cream cheese? People keep asking gemma to show alternatives and she showed her best recipe. So instead of complaining so much just make it in a small batch and see how it turns out.

[@mehtadevanshi]

Honestly people aren't complaining as much as expressing their surprise to cream cheese basically being blended paneer(cottage cheese). Paneer is a very famous food in India.

[@aohlich]

Just had that same thought flash through my mind - this would work perfectly, cut into cubes, fried off and then mixed with creamed spinach

[@madhusmitamishra1499]

[@Losttoanyreason]

Whole milk would work

[@itzsheena5941]

She said use full fat milk. That is the regular milk without any of the fat removed. I'm sure that's not hard to find

[@dellexauguste250]

One suggestion to get a smooth consistency is to put the curd into gauge cloth to drain the liquid transfer it to new gauge cloth tie tightly in a bowl then lock it tightly to avoid transfer of smell and leave overnight or two days in refrigerator

Paneer is another name for "cheese". In another country it might be called something else but if it's made like this then you should feel free to use it in all your cooking/baking needs that call for cream cheese.

Here

[@alapparate8768]

yeah

[@arunc4248]

👋

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Traditionally it was known as Farmer’s Cheese, Fresh Cheese and in other cultures other names. It is the way all cheese starts, though what changes it is how it is cultured and the level of fat in the milk. Cream cheese made with cream and milk will be easier to cream too as the fat level goes up. Ricotta is made with what remains of the curd in the whey, or very low-fat milk. If you overstrain it will be dry and more tricky to cream. If you add back a little of the whey it will cream better for you. Paneer is a type of cream cheese too.

[@sugaarun7708]

Yeah

[@labonihira]

Thank you for the recepie and also i used calcium lactate (the chemical used to curd milk in industries) and it turned out fine and i think its a good option for someone who dont want that lemon flavour in their cream cheese

Thats curd is what we use for making cottage cheese and rinse whole water , dry and wrap in muslin cloth and shape it to make cottage cheese

[@StrawberryBlond21]

What else can be done with the curd? I wouldn't like to throw it away after doing the cheese...

That's a nice way to make it at home. Could you please do an episode on butter substitutes in baking?

Thank you. I mostly have troubles even trying to find the recipes. But you site was perfect. Cream cheese was so easy to make. Thank you again

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm happy to hear that!

[@Bhawna03]

Thank you for this! I hope you can make a whipping cream substitute video soon as it's really expensive in my country. Thank you so much!

[@capucine9791]

Pour some cream in a bowl, take a whisk and beat it until it is whipped

[@pancrinaciadc]

If by whipping cream you mean the kind you buy from the store fridge, then you can buy regular cream (the one that comes in boxes and is not refrigerated) and leave in the fridge for at least 12 hours before using. When you want to whip it, add a little sugar and a little lemon juice and whip it, it will work just fine (if you don't add sugar and/or lemon juice it will take longer to whip until soft peaks form)

[@requinox]

Try searching for recipes on coconut whipped cream. Not sure where you live, but if a can of full fat coconut milk costs less than the real dairy stuff, then this might be what you're looking for.

[@Bhawna03]

+pancrinacia dc I've tried this method many times already before, but it just doesn't work for me. :(

[@Bhawna03]

+requinox I'll check that out. Thank you! :)

Ahaa....its Our Paneer...Gemma💐

[@floor4714]

Its basically blended chena/paneer..which we Indians have been making whole life 😊 Bt this vdo cleared our confusion and question regarding cream cheese

[@aasif296]

Excellent recipe! I made the mistake of draining my cheese too much and the cheese turned out pretty dry the previous times. This time, I noticed that she didn't drain by hand and the cheese came out fantastic!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted this turned out well.

[@olive2464]

Omg thank you so much for this recipe! I just tried this out and it turned out fantastic😍It's really helpful as cream cheese is very rare and expensive in my country. Hope you'll keep uploading videos like this!💕

Thank you sooooo much! Cream cheese is so expensive here T_T and sometimes it’s not even real cream cheese haha.

[@blackvelvet3795]

Would this work with non-dairy milk, too? Perhaps by mixing soy milk and soy cream to ensure it has enough fat?

[@Pharaoh_01]

Pretty sure it doesn't because it won't curdle like regular milk.

[@tsikistsikakis4870]

I was gonna ask the same thing(without the soy cream part, although it does sound like a good idea). About the not curdling, you can make buttermilk with non-dairy milk and vinegar and it separates just fine. So I am wondering if this recipe will work too with non-dairy milk.

[@netowner666]

+Arkham Knight no it does curdle when you add an acid, but it would most turn into tofu

[@netowner666]

+Daniela Navarro *most likely

[@bunny23991]

+Tsikis Tsikakis isnt the curd from soy milk is just tofu?

[@christinestevenson4304]

I was in the store and a gallon of milk is $5.00. A brick of cream cheese is $1.84. Using four cups of milk to make one cup of cream cheese isn't worth the price. I understand wanting to make it yourself, or not being able to get cream cheese! That being said, if i did do it i know this recipe would work fantastically! I have made many of gemma's recipes and they never disappoint! Plus thensound of her voice is beautiful and soothing!

[@georgiaadelinepowers6329]

Here in Brazil It is expensive

[@la5800]

Hii! First of all thank you so much for all your great recipes, and more so for these basic ones! I, like a few other commenters here, do get cream cheese in my country but it's veryyy expensive, especially when you need like 4 blocks for 1 cheesecake. I never knew I could make it at home until I came across this! I got my milk and made this recipe, (I trippled it to get 3 blocks, hence 3/4 of the cheese needed for most recipes. Thought it would be a good enough qauntity for a first try). I followed your steps and here's how the experience went. Cream cheese was easy enough to make. It didn't taste exaaactly like the store bought which is understandable obviously, I needed to use it in a cheesecake anyway so I imagined it would taste fine mixed with all other ingredients. Now since the cheesecake recipe I tried out was a first for me itself, I can't be too sure which of these things is at fault. There were a few things I noticed I didnt like as much and hope to counter in the next time I make it. I was hoping you could help me out the best you can. 1) The cream cheese I made wasn't too creamy even after I blended it with it's separated liquid. What I think I should do is blend it a little longer the next time, plus also try blending it with more liquid or cream this time (as you suggested in your video). 2) The end result cheesecake wasn't as creamy and soft as I'd have liked it to be (as it was in the recipe video). Now that could be because of the grittiness in the cream cheese as I mentioned, plus since I 3/4ed the recipe, I may not have gotten a good estimate about baking time, maybe I overbaked it (which I think I did by 5-10 mins). Also maybe I should omit the flour from the cheesecake recipe; it's only 3-4 tbsp but it'll maybe let it be creamier that way? By telling you all this I do not intend to leave this as a "bad review" at all, I'm actually quite relieved to have found this, and I'm just determined to get it right. I'm requesting you to please help me figure out these tiny things so I can get a good creamy cheesecake in the end. It might take a few tries but I feel I can get there. For the love of cheesecake! Really hoping to see your reply!😊

[@hiraziad9860]

Hi laiba.. Were u making a baked cheesecake? I had once asked a chef first and she said that homemade cream cheese cannot be used in baked desserts coz of the high water content in it .. I am actually looking for someone who tried to bake a cake with it :)

[@tanvibarman8781]

This curd is chhena in Hindi and if it is pressed then the hard curd becomes paneer and if you grind paneer with clarified ghee or butter it becomes cream cheese or cheese spread you can add salt and black pepper or black salt or capscicum chilly seeds or peprika or oregano chives parsley whatever.......it is yummy

Thank you so much! I live in the Caribbean and its so expensive here!

[@nishtasnim]

I tried to make this with two cups of full cream milk. I realized I needed 1 tablespoon of vinegar for the curds to form. They looked exactly like the one you showed. However, when I tried to blend it in the blender, it was not blending and instead becoming crumbs (of curd aka cottage cheese), so I added a little water (the drained one), it was still the same and did not blend. I don't understand why it did not blend into a cream and instead remained curd. It would be helpful if you could explain why that happened.

[@servantofallah9084]

I had that too😭

[@Tansvorster]

I know this answer is 11 months late but I just made it and mine also curdled like cottage. I left the blender on for longer and then eventually it creamed up

[@nishtasnim]

@@Tansvorster Hi! I see, do you know how long you had to blend, an estimate time? I tried to blend it for a longer time but wonder if it wasn't long enough 😅

[@Tansvorster]

@Nishat. Probably around a minute or 2. I literally just kept going. I also didn’t use a cheese cloth (used those blue kitchen cloths) and didn’t press on the cheese to drain it so mine might have had more fluid.

[@iole96792]

I made this! I used white vinegar instead of lemon. I have to say the difference in taste from store bought and this is huge! It tastes so much better and it was incredibly easy! My only problem is that you do have to use a lot of milk. 4 cups yielded only a 1/4 cup of cream cheese. I'd go ahead and use a whole gallon if it was going to turn soon, or if I wanted to show off and make something special, otherwise it would be more cost effective to just buy it.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing this. One recipe should yield at least a cup of cream cheese. You need to use whole milk with full fat content. It should also not be ultra pasteurized as the heating process denatures the milk - it will not yield a generous amount of curds. Hope this helps.

[@iole96792]

Hmmm... I am not sure if it's ultra pasteurized. I will check. Could I have used too much vinegar? I used 3 tbsp and it curdled quite fast. I must be doing something wrong. I would love a larger yield because it tastes so much better.@@biggerbolderbaking
