Hi everyone, welcome back to Clumsy Cakes. My name's Aimee.
So with everything going on right now I was thinking about
some of the ingredients
that I typically use, that aren't really staple ingredients that
everybody has in their pantry like cream cheese, and
sour cream or
Greek yogurt that maybe you guys
can't get right now or don't have and so
I am going to show you guys how to make it today. I'm gonna show you guys how to make some cream cheese.
It's super simple it takes about
20 minutes. So let's head over to the stove and I will show you guys how to make that right now
Okay, so we're going to take four
cups of heavy cream, put it in a
heavy bottomed
large sauce pot.
So we're just going to boil this over medium heat
Actually, not boil. We're going to simmer this
Over medium heat.
And once it comes to a simmer we're gonna add in 3 tablespoons
of
Distilled vinegar or you can do lemon juice or you can do lime juice any kind of acid.
We just want to curdle the milk.
Which I know sounds crazy, but you want to
Separate the milk into the curds and the whey and we just want the curds to make our cream cheese.
And this is gonna make 8 ounces or one block of cream cheese.
So I'm just going to continue to stir this
And wait for it to simmer and I'll come back when it is at that stage
Alright so now we're at a simmer
we're going to add in our
vinegar, just um, make sure to add this a
Tablespoon at a time and just stir it in before you add the next one
See how it's already starting to kind of get chunky?
Interesting how this process happens, Looks good enough to me, but we are gonna add one more.
Alright so we are just gonna bring over out curdled
Milk, I have a bowl
With a sieve on top and then you're gonna lay in your cheesecloth or I chose
To use a nut milk bag. It's it's it's basically the same thing as
Cheesecloth but it just adds a little drawstring so you can
squeeze it out better which
I like, but you and also
You don't have any risk of the corners
Falling on you and then it turns into a mess
Which it would turn to mess with me, so
So we're just gonna let this sit for 15 minutes
Just till it the way drain off. All right. The last thing we're gonna do is take our
cream cheese mixture that's been sitting for
15 minutes
Yeah, we're gonna put it in here
This is the bowl of my food processor. Put on the lid.
And just process the smooth
Alright and now as you can see we have our cream cheese, I'm just going to transfer this to a different bowl and
Put it in the fridge for up to a week, but I'm going to be making a cheesecake with this
That
Will be coming in a future episode
