Excellent healthy homemade cream cheese

[Bear]

Hi
This one is really delicious.

1kg tub of Greek full cream yoghurt
1 teasp salt
Mix together, pour into a colander lined with muslin, suspend it over a bowl to catch the liquid that will come off it.
Leave for 24hrs then turn it out into a bowl.
Use on potatoes, crackers with smoked salmon, or anywhere you would normally use cream cheese.
Make your crackers by cutting pitta bread into slices or triangles, open them up to single layer, brush with a mix of olive oil, crushed garlic and salt, put them on an oven tray and bake for about 10 mins at 180, keep an eye on them as they go crunchy quite fast and burn easily.
We have also tried using no fat yoghurt, it works, but doesn`t taste as good as the greek yoghurt.

Hi,

I can attest to how good this is. I give it a flogging everytime it shows up in the fridge.

This is so very easy to make, cream cheese produces quality protein, and even though it is a milk by-product, it does not contain a lot of lactose it is also low in fat and sodium and has a rich taste. It is also a substitute for condiments, such as mayonnaise, and it absorbs the flavor of any food mixed with it.

I made my first ever home made cream cheese yesterday, and I'm so very happy and satisfied..

Had to cut back on the making of this cheese around here.

Gary eats a tub of no fat yoghurt every night for dessert, then proceeds to work his way through a bowl of the cream cheese with dry crackers if it is available. Now it is a special treat ( usually when he helps with the shopping and I find a tub of greek yoghurt hidden in the cold bag.)

Every person who has tried it can`t believe how good it tastes and how simple it is to make.
