I'm going to make this to make a cheesecake from scratch. How much does this recipe yield? Thank you again!

I will NEVER BE MAKING THIS..

I like cream cheese but I have had digestive issues ALL MY LIFE. I now have them under control by adding homemade yoghurt cheese to toast of bagel at breakfast

Waao amazing v log

Can we use this cream cheese to make cream cheese cake? Moreover can you tell me how to make sour cream with culture and which culture will be used ?

This is a good recipe, the one I tried ran for a week, it was good but waiting a week was hard. I wanted to ask your opinion, if I wanted to flavor the cheese with something, at what point should I add the flavoring and will the cheese need to sit longer so the flavoring will be absorbed. little footnote, keep some cheese hidden for yourself, kids love cheese and it will be gone in no time.

You are the only one? Who makes the genuine cream cheese! There are hundreds of people out there proclaiming they make cream cheese, but they make only curd./quark/topfen.

why my cream cheese become grainy

Is the whey supposed to taste bitter?

just scooped into the butter muslin and noticed what was on the bottom of the pan is very firm almost dry even though it sat in whey.

What a darling video - I love the end with your son walking in and relieving you of your bagel - so cute. Also, your instructions are very precise and exactly what I was looking for. I have Flora Danica culture but did not know how to use it to make cream cheese and now I do! Thanks so much!

I followed this recipe and made from 1 litre raw cow milk. Used powdered vegetable renette (0.027g added to 1/4 cup NC water), 0.13 gm of mesophelic culture R704 CHR Hansen. Left it for 24 hours followed by another 30 hours of hanging in my cheese fridge at 16⁰C as room temp in my house if over 30⁰C. Reaultant texture was beautiful with very slight hint of bitterness.l, which substantially increased after salting. What could be the reason of bitterness in the 1st place...and why it increased after salting. It was not salt led bitterness.

Thank you so much for all this wonderful information you provide. I have wanted to make cheese for a long time now, but because of you I actually went out and bought the things I need to do it. My question is...and I'm sorry if this question has already been answered in some previous comments, I haven't read all past questions....are the recipes still the same if we use raw milk? I think the only thing we can omit is the Calcium...but I'm not sure. Thanks again for all you teach us and I truly can't wait to begin.

I was so excited to try this recipe but mine only yielded a little over a cup. Where did I screw up? lol Not enough rennet? I thought I had followed the recipe exactly but must admit I was in a rush at the end and after scooping half into the butter muslin poured the rest in. Thank you so much for sharing easy-to-follow content. I love your inspiring videos!

Thank u verry mach

I can't get enough of your Videos! Thank you for your kindness to share these wonderful recipes with us & make time passes unnoticed with your lovely way of teaching..

Hi there, I have two questions. Have you tried this with lactose-free milk? And is there a low-fat version?
Oh, bonus third question, since we're both in Ontario: Will this cream cheese taste like Liberty or (sadly no longer produced) Western Dairy cream cheese, or is it more like Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese?
Thanks!

Question. Was that skit with your son actually unplanned or just based on actual events? Because it seriously had me believing that he caught you in the middle of a video and you just threw it in!
😂😂😂

Oh, also, is this cheese appropriate for my wife while she's pregnant? I understand a lot of cheese bacteria can be risky, particularly the kind in an unbaked brie.

You are very skilled thanks dear❤

Hi! I've just been watching a few of your great videos. I've been making cream cheese forty years just hanging 15% fat sour cream and salt from a sterilized baby diaper. I mainly used it for my cheesecakes. Would you consider the result cream cheese? I'd like to try yours but shipping costs for ingredients overseas are crazy. I did have someone bring me 4 oz. vegetable rennet.

How i can buy the ingredients? Do you can send to me to Spain? So thanks

I dont have words to say so thankful!!!! Great for all your efforts

Hay MaryAnn, I made this recipe and even though I did make a mistake it is amazing. I can't wait to try it again

Can you half the recipe?

Do you have to pasteurize your raw milk to make cream cheese?

Lovely test wonderful job

honestly i think cream cheese making is a waste of time and money. Usually for other type pf cheese, i could make ricotta out of the whey, but for this cheese, unfortunately I can't even get the whey at a right amount (and the drain took a very long time too).

I have been looking for a cream cheese recipe for years and this is it! I use raw milk from our cow and the first time I tried it I wasn't that impressed because it was still very grainy. However, I saw where you said try and pasteurize raw milk first - so I did and holy cow! This is by far the best cream cheese I've eaten/made!

Hi Mary Ann, looks awesome I can't wait to try it. I have yet another question for you. I only have single strength rennet at this time, can I use that and double the amount or do I need to need to order double strength and wait for it to be delivered?

i am finding that i can manufacture just about everything i need at home with higher quality and lower cost then just buying it at the store.

the downside is i need a cow, a grass field and no home owners association.

I made this and it turned out a bit chalky. flavor was spot on but the consistency wasn’t shiny and smooth. Ideas?
