This really will change your thoughts about store purchased cream cheese. I started making ricotta cheese years ago. Life changing. Store stuff is gritty, homemade is so creamy and fabulous. Making cream cheese this week. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I absolutely love cream cheese! I gross out my family by eating it plain! I didn’t realize how easy it was to make! Yogurt, cream cheese…I’m all set!! Thank you so much! ❤️
😂 I eat it plain too. Seems to stall me though so I can't have it right now. 😩 If you like it plain try cubing 2 ounces into Greek yogurt with strawberries, vanilla extract and powdered Sweetener. So yummy. It's like a faux strawberry cheesecake with little cream cheese nuggets. 😋
Years ago, when I made my own kefir, I would often just hang it in muslin over a bowl to drain for several hours. And I would have a version of cream cheese.
Superfast Recipe! I'm gonna try it, if you want the good stuff back in it that's killed by the pressure cooker just put a little spoon of yogurt in it before the mixing and it will be allright after a night in the fridge.
no, use two ingredients, milk, and sour cream with active cultures. put 1 tsp of sour cream into 8 ounces of milk and let it sit overnight at about 85F. Next day, put the sour cream in cheese cloth, and let it strain. There: two ingredient cream cheese.
You didn’t leave a link with the recipe. I guess I’ll re-watch the beginning where you add the ingredients to the Instant Pot. Looks so easy and wonderful. Thanks for the recipe.
I've been wondering when Joe was going to start making his own cheese. So it begins. What's next. Maybe ricotta from the whey. Or mozzarella I would suggest a simple Farm cheese. Also halloumi is supposed to be an easy cheese to make.
Wow that's prity cool!!! Another cool way to use my instant pot... Thx so much!!! I'm carnivore but once I get to maintenance mode I will definitely make this!!!🤠💕
Would be expensive compared to store bought though 🤔 Fairlife milk isn't cheap, plus a cup of heavy cream. Looks like it made an amount similar to maybe 1.5 to 2 blocks. Pricey!
I just made the cream cheese. Exactly like your video. Cooked it on low pressure 6 minutes and pressure release for 15. My cream cheese is a tan color? Not sure what happened. Any ideas?
Finally. A cream cheese video that doesn't make you use the yogurt setting and have you wait 9 hours. I was like, "I thought it's called an instant pot because of it being faster than the original process". I'm thinking about getting one to make yogurt, so it's good to know it works for this too. This video is so similar to my stove top recipe-- without the boiling over part. I also don't use whipping cream. I usually find my curds on the dryer side, and if they're too dry, I just add some whey back into the food processor. I start with a gallon of milk and end with 3 tbsp of salt added into the food processor. Maybe I just like my cream cheese softer, but I let it spin for a bit longer. And, of course, some of this might be different in an instant pot.
@@Nicole4262-f8m The yogurt cultures must ferment for at least 6 hours, usually 8-12 hours at about 110 F. That's why you need the Yogurt or Sous Vide setting for yogurt. Using the Pressure setting will be too hot and kill the cultures.
Happy, happy, joy, joy! I want cream cheese but I can't have all the lactose. I can make this with lactose free milk! The hwc will have some lactose but it will be significantly less than if I was using milk with lactose in it. Whooo hooo! I may try it with Tara gum and see what happens.
I love your telling the world everyone can make cream cheese. ...But Kefir Cream Cheese is even easier to make, and loaded with Probiotics! Just Kefir Grains + Whole Milk. Put the kefir grains in a jar with milk. Leave it on the counter for a day. The next day strain out the grains, and enjoy your kefir. (Only 1% lactose remains.) Put a coffee filter into a mesh strainer, over a container. Fill it with the kefir. Refrigerate. The next day, the whey will be in the bottom container, and what's left in the filter/strainer is a really nice consistency of cream cheese! Let me know if you'd like more details.
I have truly loved your recipe for making Yogurt. ❤❤❤❤Can this be made with the Fairlife 2% milk or must it be the red package? I can’t wait to give this a try.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wouldn't the curds before putting into the blender be the same as ricotta? And if you let it drain longer, would it be mozzarella? This is so easy! I've been making it out of yogurt but it has to strain for a few days to get really thick. This is fast!
Thanks for that great video! Now I can try to make my own using A2 milk which I can never find cream cheese that's make from it. Have your tried making the recipe with coconut cream?Thanks, again!
When you say it takes a lot longer in a yogurt strainer, how long should it take? I usually have the yogurt strain for 24 hours. Would it take longer than that?
How do you use your whey for your chickens? I would love to be able to give more healthy things to them to eat but I’m not sure how you are using it. Do you soak grains in it or feed it to them like a drink?
@@2krazyketos how many ounces (appox.) is one batch. Can you add vanilla, almond or maybe lemon flavoring or extract? How long does it last in refrigerator? CAN YOU TELL HOW EXCITED I AM?
@@2krazyketos Thanks for responding. I saw the yogurt video. It doesn't use the quick pressure cooker method like the cream cheese hack. Kudos to you because I've not seen anyone else try your method!
I’m curious if you know what top temp that brings the milk during this process. I have SO much raw milk from our cow, Gracie, and I’m wondering if we need to pasteurize it first, or if it will get to a temp that accomplishes this at the same time. Thanks!
A “way” to use your whey without worrying about the carbs is to use it as a hair rinse. I tried this after making my last batch of yogurt, & it made my hair the softest & fluffiest I think it’s ever been. Washed my hair, then used the whey letting it sit for about 5” then rinsed it out. No funny smell after final rinse out either.
Well is fairlife milk & the HWC. More expensive than a brick of Cream Cheese? Im sure it tastes better but being my only source for money i have to be frugal
Hey Rachel and Joe,enjoy your videos and your bountiful energy!! This question has nothing to do with cream cheese. I am starting BBBE tomorrow am I allowed to have pork sausage patties that have clean ingredients or bacon Only??
I love it when you do "staples" recipes. Definitely going to be making my own cream cheese from now on!
I was waiting for "nut bags!" I conquered yogurt with quite a feeling of accomplishment. Now on to cream cheese. Thank you, thank you very much!
Your cream cheese is amazing ! Thanks for sharing all your hard work and great ideas💕
I use a similar recipe to make homemade ricotta...so easy and SOOOOO delicious!!
Can you share where to learn how?
@@starfire8221 I don’t even recall where I picked up the recipe. I’ve been making it for decades. I’m happy to share the recipe.

Love the yogurt ❤️ so now to make the cream cheese!!!! Thank you ☺️
Great recipe. Next time I need cream cheese I give this a try so sabing the video to watch again while I am making.
How awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Incredible recipe.
This looks great! My husband likes flavored cream cheese-pumpkin spice, blueberry. What about adding some KC with this at the end? Would that work?
Years ago, when I made my own kefir, I would often just hang it in muslin over a bowl to drain for several hours. And I would have a version of cream cheese.
Love how detailed this is! Looks great, especially with the price of cream cheese now!
I made this using milk from my goats. It's great! Thank you!
Love this! I can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for another great recipe.
Definitely going to try this with but plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy. Thanks for posting
Ok so now I’m gonna have to try this. I already make the yogurt and it’s got to be delicious!☺️
Yay! I have made mozzarella before...easy peasy! I need to make cream cheese!
I will try this soon. Love Rachel’s T-shirt!
Superfast Recipe! I'm gonna try it,
if you want the good stuff back in it that's killed by the pressure cooker just put a little spoon of yogurt in it before the mixing and it will be allright after a night in the fridge.
Amazing, thank you!
I can’t wait to try this ‼️
I made tour yogurt and it was fantastic! Gonna try this one tomorrow. Thanksabunch.

So, let it sit on the counter overnight?
@@TheEMC99 yes, I have a stove with pilot lights, so I put it there. Also, half and half works better, and cream is even better
❤
I might have to try this cuz my cream cheese had a lemon taste to it
Another "cross off my learn to make list" recipe. Thanks Joe and Rachel!!!!
I am definitely going to have to give this recipe a try. 😋😋😋

I support the decision to make halloumi! It is so expensive, I would love a homemade option!
@@confidentandfitmom2675 oh yes! I think they're a match made in heaven (Joe and halloumi☺️)
Ohhhhh mozzarella? I'm here for it! ❤
Thank you! I've done cream cheese before but not with the Instant Pot. I've tried with vinegar and lemon, both recipes taste good
Thanks you two are great!!
💜🥰🤩🤗
Joe have you made ice cream from homemade cream cheese? Is it too thin, melts easier? My husband has an ice cream addiction!
I had no idea I could make my own cream cheese! Thanks so much! I will definitely give this a try!
I like how Joe, extremely cautiously, says "Nut Milk Bag" in front of Rachal LoL! !
Great, I love making things.homemade. Can you save the whey to make more cream cheese?
Wow that's prity cool!!! Another cool way to use my instant pot... Thx so much!!! I'm carnivore but once I get to maintenance mode I will definitely make this!!!🤠💕
LOL 2 weeks ago I saw a video on how easy it is to make your own cream cheese, my first thought was why isn't Joe and Rachel doing this.😄
Would be expensive compared to store bought though 🤔 Fairlife milk isn't cheap, plus a cup of heavy cream. Looks like it made an amount similar to maybe 1.5 to 2 blocks. Pricey!
The milk also makes yogurt and many other dishes. But I use regular milk
I just made the cream cheese. Exactly like your video. Cooked it on low pressure 6 minutes and pressure release for 15. My cream cheese is a tan color? Not sure what happened. Any ideas?
I know this is a year old, but mine did, too. I just made it using my foodie pressure cooker. I think 3 minutes and quick release.
Is there a reason for using bottled lemon juice as opposed to fresh squeezed?

How does the cost of making it yourself compare with store-bought?
close to same
Can you use a kitchen aid
I like cream cheese but not enough to make my own. Love your videos.
How long does the cream cheese last in the fridge?
What is the shelf life for homemade cream cheese?
I have truly loved your recipe for making Yogurt. ❤❤❤❤Can this be made with the Fairlife 2% milk or must it be the red package? I can’t wait to give this a try.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes it can. We have a video on it. Search for 2 krazy ketos low fat yogurt

Mozzarella goes through a cooking and stretching process (makes it stringy and melty) also rennet makes a better Mozzarella imo
Can you make with goat milk?
Can you make Ricotta with the whey?

No we haven’t
Rachel, I love love love your bob haircut ;)
Super easy method! Would this be a good way to use up milk that has already begun to curdle on it's own?
When you say it takes a lot longer in a yogurt strainer, how long should it take? I usually have the yogurt strain for 24 hours. Would it take longer than that?
Hello you two.
May I ask you both
how long will this keep in the fridge befor it goes off?
1-2 weeks
Little Miss Muffet… 😁 who’d ever have thought it could be so simple to make cream cheese? 👍🏻
This would cost a lot more then store bought. However, I am sure it tastes way better!
Can i use vinegar instead of lemon? Like when i make mozzarella and ricotta.
yes
Can I double the recipe? Once cooled can I use it in a recipe or do I need to fridge it?
Yes, up can use it right away
I can't find the recipe down below. Would love to try this. I love cream cheese.

about 7-10 days
Thanks. Love you guys, so informative and always a bright spot in my day. 💚
I didn't have to press play 🤣🤣🤣
Could you use the yogurt strainer to strain the cream cheese?
it will take a long time but yes
What if your lactose ?
Does it mader what % you use for the fair life milk? And how many Oz goes one batch make?
No. You can also use the low fat version. As hard as how much, it depends on how much whey you strain out
