If i ever win the lottery rik im going to buy a house and grounds with another house in the grounds. I will pay you handsome wage and put you on a pension aswell. You will be appointed as my chef 👨🍳 and you and youre family can join me in the feasting
Wow! I'm just working out the chance of winning the lottery! Google say 1 in 10 million. Flipping heck I will have to keep posting easy recipes for you to follow (For Now) Thank you. Best, Rik
I pour my curds into a old clean 100% cotton wet pillow case. I tie the pillow case up and hang it up from beams in garage with a clean stainless bucket underneath. Once it has stopped dripping. I take it down andI dived it in to three. I put cracked black pepper in one batch, fine chopped fresh chives in another and the final one has fine lemon peel. I don’t have to worry about keeping it fresh as it’s eaten as fast it made. The family love them.
I've been making cheese like this for YEARS and never knew about the option to convert it to cream cheese. Thanks for the great info! To return the favor: if you bring that whey to a boil (not a rolling boil but close to it), you'll curdle the remaining proteins and get a smaller second batch of ricotta-like cheese.
Just heard you say it's used as paneer, my earlier question is answered! Thank you. Now, did the Brits teach this to the Indians and they came up with paneer?
I've never seen anyone cook like my grandfather. You remind me of him very much and your warm way of getting your hands into everything was just how he did it. I simply love your show. Bravo and well done! Been with you since about twenty thousand subscribers and it is a pleasure to watch you succeed.
Another great video, and one close to my heart! Being from Philadelphia, Cream cheese is almost like a family member, lol. I never knew the exact process, so once again you blew my mind with its simplicity. I've often done the Vinegar/Lemon on heated milk to make Paneer/Queso Fresco, so this is another great whey (😂 couldn't help myself) to use milk when you get a good deal or buy too much. And holy cow, that was the biggest jug of Milk I've ever seen. One important tip for anyone reading this - It must be regular pasteurized whole milk, or fresh milk. Ultra pasteurized milk will not work because it may not curdle do to the the way it was made. and Rik, if you ever write a cookbook, I will be first in line to buy it. And if you do a companion Audio Book, I'd buy that too. Something about your voice, the delivery, your accent...its one of the best voices in all of TH-cam land!
Absolutely ultra pasteurized will not work; that includes organic (in the US it's ultra pasteurized). From a quick search: 'Milk that has been ultra-pasteurized does not work well in cheesemaking because the proteins have been destabilized. As a result, the calcium in the milk does not bond properly to make a good curd.'
If there's a local dairy farm you can go get milk from them or have it delivered for cheese making. Here in Colorado there's a couple local dairies that distribute to neighborhoods in metro denver. ❤
Tell me about it. Many countries around the world can't afford it but with 5 liters of milk you get more than 800g of fresh cream cheese - what a bargain. Thank you. Best, Rik
I did cream cheese before, it was a tad more complicated because I was told he milk shouldn't get over 60C, and without a termometer it'd meant to watch for the bubles to begin appearing on the edges... but then you made it way easier, just let it boil. And it seems it splits even faster. Nicely done!
Hello everyone! Thanks for always welcoming my morning with your great recipes and friendly videos! Rik, are you going to do a live one of these days? Have a great weekend! Cristina
I've been making a kind of similar thing for a while, but you've given me a ton of great methods and ideas to try here.... Gotta say.....I get more actual knowledge from watching 5 of your vids, than I get from watching 50 TV celebrity chef vids. All the best. 👍
Love it with scallions. Here in New York Bagel cafes they flavor it up many ways, like maple and brown sugar, cinnamon, etc. If you don't blend it up, it's rather like ricotta.
I know you will. Easy, Cottage cheese, ricotta then blend to make cream cheese at a fraction of the cost. Add no additives just fresh! Thank you. Best, Rik
Just made today with half and half vs. whole milk; had to add a bit more apple cider vinegar and boil about twice as long (boiling per your instructions yielded about half of the amount of curds vs. boiling twice as long). Curds were smaller than what was shown in your video, but the final result after blended looked the same as yours. Thanks, Rik!
Goodness Rik, this looks so simple. I have to say everything I've cooked with your recipes has turned out so deliciously well. I really appreciate all your recipes and have truly tried 99% of them. I can't believe how much I enjoy cooking again, thankyou so much!
I can’t wait to try this. I’ve never seen a recipe adding butter and it’s a good thing to add some of your whey back in. I hadn’t thought of that. It must make it easier to cream since I’ve been having trouble. Thank you.
Great recipe. Thanks. May I propose another curdled milk idea - a delicious cooling drink for the summer. Simply take a mug of ice-cold milk from the fridge. Add and stir in a teaspoonful of Roses lime juice (or more if you want a stronger flavour) and drink : with cold milk and immediate stirring and consumption, this makes a beautiful, refreshing, creamy drink.
Fantastic informative video Rik, a lot more economical than buying those teeny wee tubs of Philadelphia cheese etc at the supermarket. Roughly how long would you expect this to last if refrigerated straight away? Thank you for sharing as always 🙏👨🍳👌
David I use up with in a few days - if vacuumed sealed it would longer. I've never honestly gone for a shelf life. I make and use up. Saves a fortune. Thank you. Best, Rik
If you hang it, hang it in the shower, works well and easy to clean up the mess. If you use lemons or limes it's great for cheese cake, vinegar is better for savoury.
I’m more of a watcher and less of a commenter but I wanted to thank you Rik as you have rekindled my love of cooking. My elderly parents also thank you too lol! So thank you very much. Please take care, Summer
Wow thank you for this very useful recipe Rik I’ve never made my own cream cheese and I can’t wait to give it ago , I love the look of the cottage cheese too before you blend it , so versatile 👌I like cream cheese on toast too 😋Amanda xx
I heard a couple of plaintive meows from an interested pussy cat at the 2:15 - 2:20 mark. He or she obviously likes cream cheese too! Cheers Rik, another great video x
Yes a little one (wild) who walked up - got spruced up and fed, injections all the business. Here to stay! He is a cracker to be honest. Great addition. Everyone gets help around here. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik "you forgot to say in the vid please see below" loved the vid easy peasy lemon squeezy cottage/creamed cheese how simple to make ❤👌👍 You forgot to mention in the video most importantly that you need to use ''full fat'' milk know its in the description ingredients list but guess a few people wont go and read that but just go off your vid instead so thought I'd mention it hear for you so people go and read the ingredients in the description first before they start to make their very own delicious cottage/creamed chesse 🧀 YUMYUM! 😋😁👍👍👍
I made some cream cheese this morning for the first time. It was just a small amount. Then I saw you making cheese. I wish I had seen your video first. You explained things so much better! I have followed a lot of your recipes with great success - loved the Chinese curry paste. Thanks Rik. Where in Yorkshire did you live? 😀
That’s a great way to use up extra milk. You could make ricotta for Italian recipes with it too. I’m going to have a go. Thanks for all these fab ideas Rik xx
Looks great - "Lox and a schmeer on a bagel" is one of my favorites, so I will certainly try this recipe - thanks a lot! One question, okay two - what is the best way to store it in the fridge, and how long will it last? [Roger]
Asa chef I would say you do not have to boil your milk. Just above blood heat will be the same. For strait curd I would use white vinegar for goats milk/sheeps milk I may use lemon. all the best Rab
Hi rik, another good tutorial on making cream or cottage cheese, was you using 6 pints of whole milk and could you guess the weight ratio you get from the milk to make the cheese. and could make cream cheese from soya milk.
Hi Rik doo you know if this is suitable to make baked cheesecake. I have a very old recipe and I would like to make it a again Many Thanks if you can let me know
Yes you can! Yes, homemade cream cheese can definitely be used to make a baked cheesecake. In fact, using homemade cream cheese can add a unique, fresh flavour to your cheesecake. However, keep in mind that the texture and moisture content of homemade cream cheese might vary from commercial brands. This variation could affect the consistency and firmness of your cheesecake. To ensure the best results, make sure your homemade cream cheese is well strained and has a consistency similar to that of commercial cream cheese. If it's too wet, it might make the cheesecake batter too loose, affecting the final texture of the cheesecake. You might need to adjust the amount of cream cheese or other ingredients to achieve the desired texture. Thank you. Best, Rik
You can also mix in strawberries, blueberries, or your favourite leftover veggies for cream cheeses that are great in bagels. The veggie one is for bagel sandwiches. ❤
1. Bread Making: Substitute whey for the water or milk in your bread recipes. It can help to activate the yeast and add a slight tanginess, similar to using buttermilk. 2. Pancakes and Waffles: Use whey in place of milk in your batter to add a protein boost and ensure fluffy pancakes or waffles. 3. Muffins and Quick Breads: Replace the liquid in recipes for muffins, banana bread, or other quick breads with whey. This substitution can add a subtle richness and improve the moisture content. 4. Pizza Dough: Use whey instead of water in your pizza dough recipe for a crispier crust and deeper flavour. 5. Cakes: Incorporate whey into cake batters to enhance the cake's texture and add a delicate, milky flavour. Remember to adjust your recipes slightly if needed, as whey can be more acidic than other liquids, which might affect how other ingredients like baking soda or baking powder react. Best, Rik

Rik, how do you use the whey for baking?
1. Bread Making: Substitute whey for the water or milk in your bread recipes. It can help to activate the yeast and add a slight tanginess, similar to using buttermilk.
2. Pancakes and Waffles: Use whey in place of milk in your batter to add a protein boost and ensure fluffy pancakes or waffles.
3. Muffins and Quick Breads: Replace the liquid in recipes for muffins, banana bread, or other quick breads with whey. This substitution can add a subtle richness and improve the moisture content.
4. Pizza Dough: Use whey instead of water in your pizza dough recipe for a crispier crust and deeper flavour.
5. Cakes: Incorporate whey into cake batters to enhance the cake's texture and add a delicate, milky flavour.
Remember to adjust your recipes slightly if needed, as whey can be more acidic than other liquids, which might affect how other ingredients like baking soda or baking powder react. Best, Rik
I think your cat wanted some of that milk at the beginning - lol
He just came in to say hello. Thank You. Best, Rik
Suggestion: add some garlic, cream cheese is very bland but, like mayonnaise, everything is better with a bit of fresh garlic. 😅
Thank you. Best, Rik
Now publish bread, muffins and soup recipes to use up the whey. I use might in nearly everything😉
Thank you. Best, Rik
