Although supermarkets are full of all kinds of cheeses, each one better than the last, it is always useful to know that it is possible to prepare an excellent fresh cheese at home, completely natural and very tasty.

To prepare cream cheese, you need very few ingredients: milk, yoghurt and lemon. The result will be an excellent cheese, which you can use for salads, spread it on bread or use it for other preparations.

Ingredients: 1 litre of fresh whole milk, 1 plain yoghurt, the juice of half a lemon, 1 cotton cheesecloth, a bowl and a mould about 12 cm in diameter.

Heat the milk to 90 degrees for about 15 minutes. Add the yoghurt and lemon juice and mix well.

Set the oven to 90 degrees and pour all the mixture into the pan. Bake for 2 minutes, until the whey has separated and turned yellow.

Put the cheesecloth on the mold and, placing under the bowl, pour the contents of the mold directly onto the cheesecloth. The whey will fall into the bowl, while the rennet will remain on the cheesecloth.

Squeeze the gauze well to remove the serum. Pour the rennet back into the mold, and put a weight on it (a jar or a full bottle). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the mold from the refrigerator and remove the cheesecloth. You can add a little salt to the preparation. Transfer the cheese to another container and let it rest in the fridge for another 8 hours.
