To say I have received tons of requests for this recipe is an understatement because How to Make Cream Cheese has been the most-requested recipe for my series. Since starting Bigger Bolder Baking, you Bold Bakers have shown me what ingredients are and are not available in the countries you live in, and cream cheese was one that was not available or is a completely different texture from country to country. I usually only like to use ingredients that are accessible to you no matter what country you’re in, however, some ingredients still aren’t as mainstream as you would think. So what do we do?

We make our own! How to Make Homemade Cream Cheese This Homemade Cream Cheese could not be easier to make, because everything you need to make rich, creamy, and tangy cream cheese is most likely already in your fridge. Believe it or not, myHomemade Cream Cheese is actually made with milk.

I use whole milk in this recipe to get the richness we all know and love in a thick cream cheese. It starts with milk, then I use lemon juice. That’s right: these 2 ingredients create a reaction which curdles the cheese. Then it’s just the process of straining the cheese from the whey, and what I have left is the beginnings of my cream cheese. After blending thoroughly, I transfer the mix to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. This way, I always have cream cheese waiting on me for baking, cooking, and of course, spreading onto a freshly toasted bagel! Is This the Same As Regular Cream Cheese?

When researching “How to Make Cream Cheese,” I tried a lot of recipes and wasted a lot of milk. I couldn’t find a recipe that worked without having to buy active cultures or hang a cream cheese for hours. I hate waste, and I don’t want you to waste your ingredients, so I have a foolproof recipe for you that yields delicious Homemade Cream Cheese.

My one piece of advice would be to add a generous amount of salt and try eating it warm. It is just heaven on a cracker. If you find after blending the cream cheese is a bit gritty, just keep on going. The added salt will season the cream cheese and help the curdles to break down farther into the most lovely smooth cream cheese. How to Use This Cream Cheese, and Can You Bake With It?

I have made the paneer in the past (Same way) and had no idea I could turn it into cream cheese. I also appreciated the follow up note regarding using vinegar vs lemon. Prior to your post, one of the times I tried making the paneer with lemon, it never separated. I later read that the UHT processed milk can’t be used successfully. Trying to find milk these days that is not UHT is quite the challenge. Will have to see if vinegar works for it.
