Homemade Cream Cheese
Description
Perfect for serving and with drinks. Let's make Philadelphia-style cream cheese at home. Mix yogurt with sour cream and salt, wrap everything in cheesecloth, and refrigerate for a couple of days. Whey will separate out—it needs to be drained off carefully until all of it has been removed. The finished cheese can be spread on bread or served as an appetizer. Good luck. Can be served warm or chilled.
