How to make your own cream cheese | Instant Pot Cream Cheese

[@kendramccabe1054]

I was waiting for "nut bags!" I conquered yogurt with quite a feeling of accomplishment. Now on to cream cheese. Thank you, thank you very much!

[@lynnpayne5107]

I love it when you do "staples" recipes. Definitely going to be making my own cream cheese from now on!

[@joannarippon3910]

Thank you so much for this video! I absolutely love cream cheese! I gross out my family by eating it plain! I didn’t realize how easy it was to make! Yogurt, cream cheese…I’m all set!! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@TheEMC99]

😂 I eat it plain too. Seems to stall me though so I can't have it right now. 😩 If you like it plain try cubing 2 ounces into Greek yogurt with strawberries, vanilla extract and powdered Sweetener. So yummy. It's like a faux strawberry cheesecake with little cream cheese nuggets. 😋

I know you have all of your recipes free for us but I would love a recipe book!! This is great as always

This really will change your thoughts about store purchased cream cheese. I started making ricotta cheese years ago. Life changing. Store stuff is gritty, homemade is so creamy and fabulous. Making cream cheese this week. Thanks!

no, use two ingredients, milk, and sour cream with active cultures. put 1 tsp of sour cream into 8 ounces of milk and let it sit overnight at about 85F. Next day, put the sour cream in cheese cloth, and let it strain. There: two ingredient cream cheese.

[@laurahudson8210]

Years ago, when I made my own kefir, I would often just hang it in muslin over a bowl to drain for several hours. And I would have a version of cream cheese.

[@whiskasje]

Superfast Recipe! I'm gonna try it, if you want the good stuff back in it that's killed by the pressure cooker just put a little spoon of yogurt in it before the mixing and it will be allright after a night in the fridge.

[@critter4004]

Would be expensive compared to store bought though 🤔 Fairlife milk isn't cheap, plus a cup of heavy cream. Looks like it made an amount similar to maybe 1.5 to 2 blocks. Pricey!

The milk also makes yogurt and many other dishes. But I use regular milk

[@jamesvanhoose3132]

I've been wondering when Joe was going to start making his own cheese. So it begins. What's next. Maybe ricotta from the whey. Or mozzarella I would suggest a simple Farm cheese. Also halloumi is supposed to be an easy cheese to make.

[@confidentandfitmom2675]

I support the decision to make halloumi! It is so expensive, I would love a homemade option!

What if your lactose ?

[@annawanner5813]

Great, I love making things.homemade. Can you save the whey to make more cream cheese?

[@barbschmidt2356]

I just made the cream cheese. Exactly like your video. Cooked it on low pressure 6 minutes and pressure release for 15. My cream cheese is a tan color? Not sure what happened. Any ideas?

[@vickietownsend9133]

I know this is a year old, but mine did, too. I just made it using my foodie pressure cooker. I think 3 minutes and quick release.

[@momster2552]

Happy, happy, joy, joy! I want cream cheese but I can't have all the lactose. I can make this with lactose free milk! The hwc will have some lactose but it will be significantly less than if I was using milk with lactose in it. Whooo hooo! I may try it with Tara gum and see what happens.

[@janp7660]

Wouldn't the curds before putting into the blender be the same as ricotta? And if you let it drain longer, would it be mozzarella? This is so easy! I've been making it out of yogurt but it has to strain for a few days to get really thick. This is fast!

[@aaronjangle]

Mozzarella goes through a cooking and stretching process (makes it stringy and melty) also rennet makes a better Mozzarella imo

[@sasharenee7613]

Wow that's prity cool!!! Another cool way to use my instant pot... Thx so much!!! I'm carnivore but once I get to maintenance mode I will definitely make this!!!🤠💕

I like cream cheese but not enough to make my own. Love your videos.

[@dr.connienohns3411]

I love your telling the world everyone can make cream cheese. ...But Kefir Cream Cheese is even easier to make, and loaded with Probiotics! Just Kefir Grains + Whole Milk. Put the kefir grains in a jar with milk. Leave it on the counter for a day. The next day strain out the grains, and enjoy your kefir. (Only 1% lactose remains.) Put a coffee filter into a mesh strainer, over a container. Fill it with the kefir. Refrigerate. The next day, the whey will be in the bottom container, and what's left in the filter/strainer is a really nice consistency of cream cheese! Let me know if you'd like more details.

[@jenniferreynolds7082]

How do you use your whey for your chickens? I would love to be able to give more healthy things to them to eat but I’m not sure how you are using it. Do you soak grains in it or feed it to them like a drink?

I googled nutrition facts whey liquid and there’s 13 carbs in 1 cup if whey.

[@caisis2]

@@travlntam Thank you! Dang, that's a LOT of carbs in 8 oz!! 😲

[@pattysylvanbutterfly433]

A “way” to use your whey without worrying about the carbs is to use it as a hair rinse. I tried this after making my last batch of yogurt, & it made my hair the softest & fluffiest I think it’s ever been. Washed my hair, then used the whey letting it sit for about 5” then rinsed it out. No funny smell after final rinse out either.

[@Nicole4262-f8m]

@@2krazyketos Thanks for responding. I saw the yogurt video. It doesn't use the quick pressure cooker method like the cream cheese hack. Kudos to you because I've not seen anyone else try your method!

[@missmishpot]

I’m curious if you know what top temp that brings the milk during this process. I have SO much raw milk from our cow, Gracie, and I’m wondering if we need to pasteurize it first, or if it will get to a temp that accomplishes this at the same time. Thanks!

[@nicolless51]

Finally. A cream cheese video that doesn't make you use the yogurt setting and have you wait 9 hours. I was like, "I thought it's called an instant pot because of it being faster than the original process". I'm thinking about getting one to make yogurt, so it's good to know it works for this too. This video is so similar to my stove top recipe-- without the boiling over part. I also don't use whipping cream. I usually find my curds on the dryer side, and if they're too dry, I just add some whey back into the food processor. I start with a gallon of milk and end with 3 tbsp of salt added into the food processor. Maybe I just like my cream cheese softer, but I let it spin for a bit longer. And, of course, some of this might be different in an instant pot.

[@Nicole4262-f8m]

Have you been able to do yougurt or sour cream using this quick merhod?

[@artbarn2624]

@@Nicole4262-f8m The yogurt cultures must ferment for at least 6 hours, usually 8-12 hours at about 110 F. That's why you need the Yogurt or Sous Vide setting for yogurt. Using the Pressure setting will be too hot and kill the cultures.

[@daniellesawatzky4418]

Does it mader what % you use for the fair life milk? And how many Oz goes one batch make?

[@2krazyketos]

No. You can also use the low fat version. As hard as how much, it depends on how much whey you strain out

No, you need the whey
