METERS

cup = 240 ml, spoon = 15 ml, teaspoon = 10 ml, teaspoon = 5 ml

Ingredients Homemade cream cheese made from milk powder:

-400 ml of water

– 100 g of powdered milk

– 15 ml of lemon (or rice vinegar) ^THE

– 15 g unsalted butter (1 tablespoon = 20 g)

PREPARATION:

1. Separate the ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
2. The yield of this recipe is approximately 250g for 4 portions and the test was carried out using soluble powdered milk.
3. If you use lemon, wash it, dry it and squeeze the juice.

PREPARATION:

Homemade Creamy Cheese – Milk Cut:

1. Place the water (see quantities in the ingredients) and the powdered milk in a saucepan. If you can’t measure milk powder in grams, consider 1 tablespoon = 12.5 g (or 8 tablespoons per 100 g).
2. Mix well to dissolve it with a wire whisk.
3. Keep some milk in a bowl (about 30 ml for every 2 portions) – to adjust the creaminess of the curd when mixing. If your powdered milk is not soluble, wait until it heats up and dissolves completely before setting it aside.
4. Bring the milk to the boil over medium heat in a deep pan, checking that it does not rise.
5. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice or alcoholic vinegar.
6. Mix a little and wait for it to thicken: wait 10 to 15 minutes.
7. While you wait, separate the glass jars you’ll use to store your produce. Place it in a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil together with the lid(s).

Homemade cream cheese (continued) – separate the solid part from the whey:

1. Pass the curdled milk through a fine mesh strainer and press with a spoon to release all the liquid, i.e. the whey (advice: cover the strainer with a clean, damp cloth and then wring the cloth to remove all the liquid).
2. Save whey, which has a high protein value, for use in other recipes, such as cakes, soups or sauces. Store in the refrigerator or freeze in ice-making molds.
3. Check the pot(s), remove with kitchen tongs and let dry naturally.

Homemade ricotta (beat):

1. Place the remaining milk mixture in the sieve or cloth into a blender or food processor.
2. Add the salt, the butter and beat or work until you obtain a very smooth and homogeneous mixture.
3. Check the consistency of the curd and if you prefer a less dense consistency, gradually add a little more reserved milk until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Transfer the homemade cream cheese to one or more jars or glasses with lids.
5. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until reaching the ideal point for consumption.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve the homemade cream cheese (from milk powder) to accompany breakfast or a snack: the flavor is much more natural and the final product is creamy and much healthier.
