on Mar 10, 2015, Updated Sep 29, 2023 But sometimes these things happen, where for some indescribable, strange reason you can’t bring yourself to do something. Even though you know its easy, and you know you can. And then the day you attempt it, you realize that there was nothing to fear. It almost came naturally. Well the same thing happened to me last week. It all started with me attempting to make cream cheese from scratch. In fact that’s what I’m going to share with you today. But let me finish my cheesecake story first. So I tried making cream cheese, multiple times of course, and every time with great success. At the end of all my experiments, I had a big bowl of cream cheese waiting to be used. I spread it on toast, had some with pita dipped in Olive Oil (mmm, I still can’t get over it) and even spread it on plums and apples (before you call me crazy, try it and you’ll be amazed). But there was still lots of cream cheese left. Naturally, you’d think of cheesecake. I did too. But ahem, it was like a monster sitting in the cupboard. I turned to my friend Aditi. I like to call her The Cheesecake Queen. She has flooded my Instagram feed on many occasions with, you guessed it – Cheesecake and I will never forgive her for it. But she came through. Her recipe was a hit. I fed it to friends and they loved it! Light, creamy, tart and more – just the way a good cheesecake should be. By the way, no more cheesecake fears. In fact I have another batch of cream cheese in the making, for some more Cheesecake. I know I’ve gone on and on about the end product, but before that, let’s try some Homemade Cream Cheese. The wonder of this recipe is that there’s no cooking required, and the result is a great cream cheese substitute which cannot be differentiated from the regular Philly variety. The process is similar to making Labneh and slightly long, but give it a try.
