Love, Mary
This is not how to make "cream cheese". What this makes, is a denser yoghurt cheese. Well enough, if that is what you are trying to make. But don't think this will taste like commercial cream cheese...it won't! It may be full of probiotics...but its only similarity to real cream cheese is its texture...not its taste...and this is not cream cheese as you know it. To make proper cream cheese, start with sweet cream...not yoghurt, and you'll need mesophilic culture and some rennet. Just thought you should know before you start.
Hi Mary, I just want to mention that “Lebneh” is a middle eastern cream cheese that has been made from yogurt for over a thousand years. We make it with homemade yogurt. Usually, we wait until the yogurt turns sour and add salt to it before we put it in a cotton cloth bag. We do tie the bag tight and put it in a strainer on the counter for a couple days. Afterwards, we roll one inch yogurt balls and place them in a glass jar. Then we add olive oil, cover with lid, and refrigerate. It will last forever as long as the olive oil covers the yogurt balls. So, if you think your yogurt is spoiled because it’s sour, think again😉. Anyways, it’s delicious to spread on pita bread with Mediterranean olives and a cup of tea. Enjoy!!🥰🌷💕🌷 You’re are one of the sweetest and most genuine lady on the internet! Thank you Mary🌻💕🥰
@@omsairampranam180 You don't have to watch the video. No one is forcing you to. To come here and insult her in a different language that she doesn't understand is quite shameful.
Hi mary, made my first batch of yogurt during the lockdown by watching your videos and am extremely grateful. I do have a useful tip for the leftover whey if anyone is interested, what I do is use the whey as my new starter culture meaning I don't have to bother buying store bought yogurt to use as starter. I have sometimes gone anywhere from one month to three months in between batches and the refrigerated whey always works. Sorry for being so long winded and thank you again.
@@canadianproud1729 Sorry it took so long to reply.i never thought someone would comment. I usually use 2 or 3 tablespoons per 2 cups of milk. Hope this helps
Dear Mary! Your cream cheese is really "glorious", as you say. My wife and I have made it exactly following your instructions. We used 800 g of 10% yogurt and got 370 g excellent cream cheese, which is a lot more than we had expected. By the way, I love your perfectly clear English which reminds me of that of my English teacher years ago (I am Czech). It is really a treat to watch your videos, absorb your straightforward explanations and enjoy your lovely smile. Thank you so much. 👍
So I just bought 2 tubs of cream cheese, each tub was 7.5 ounces and I paid nearly $10.00. I can get a 32 ounce tub of organic yogurt for under $5.00. Guess who is going to use your method for making cream cheese? Thanks Mary!!
If you have an instant pot make Yogurt in it. The more you strain it the more cream cheese texture and flavor. A gallon of milk makes over 64 ounces of yogurt, or 32 ounces of cream cheese. Costs less than $ 5 to make.
When I was a child my mom had a Salton yogurt maker. She made all our yogurt homemade. I miss her cooking. She passed away 3 days before her 49th birthday. It’s been 27 years and I miss her witty-ness, her food. I miss talking to her on the phone, I wish I could hear her voice again.
@@MarysNest I am sorry for your loss too; losing loved ones is so hard. My pops lost his parents in a tragic accident when he was 7. He was at school when it happened. So I didn’t know my grandparents from either side of my family and my sons had 1 grandpa my dad that lives 3 states away but we always get together for the holidays and go camping in the summer. He is 83 and he said he thinks this will be his last one as its getting to hard for him to pack and prepare. The whole family chipped in and rented the whole camp ground out for a week long family reunion. Cousins aunts, uncles are spread out throughout California, Oregon and Idaho. And I myself have lived in all 3 states as my pops was a long haul truck driver. I wish you good health and many blessings.
Thank you for this revolutionary technique. I strained my homemade yoghurt overnight and used it to make cheesecake. It was so smooth and creamy. Heavenly! Thank you!
We have this in our cuisine in Damascus since ages and ages and we call it "Labneh" But we take is a step further in so many different ways. For instance, we mix it with herbs like thyme, tarragon, mint and olives mostly black, we call Labneh, put them in jars and cover with extra virgin olive oil. I add some garlic to it and it's super delicious. Another kind, we mix Labneh with hot chili flakes, allow to ferment at room temperature for 24 hours, then roll the balls in a mixture of dried thyme leaves, oregano, sumac and sesame seeds, and we soap the balls in extra virgin olive oil, and this way called "Shanglish". This is a basic element in Syrian cuisine, you can never find a home in Syria that doesn't have it. However, very well done dear lady.
@@shawnabelle2824 no there was no salt added but you can do so if that is a flavour you want. With dried dill pickle powder maybe? With sundried tomatoes?
We are very lucky to have a local yogurt called Krema that has 11% butterfat. The cream cheese ends up so thick and rich. It's resurrected my love of bagels. Yum
Right. I'm interested in making real cream cheese. Homemade is very different than Philadelphia brand. It's the same texture as the delicious and expensive Boursin herb cream cheese. Mary's recipe does not equal cream cheese.

try this recipe of COTTAGE CHEESE GRAVY WITH RED YELLOW BELL PEPPER AND GREEN CAPSICUM. its super tasty try this th-cam.com/video/V4X1YY5jEHA/w-d-xo.html
We used greek yogurt (store brand) and it worked. We shortened the straining time to about 12 hrs instead of 24, and we are packing it in the fridge for only 5 days. The texture so far is great and it tastes like cream cheese too!
You just got less whey. If you don't intend to do anything with the whey, seems like a better approach. Thanks for sharing. I'll give that a try since I'm allergic to whey. Question though, does it actually taste like store bought cream cheese? Also, do you add salt?
@@goodwork887 I added salt. I think it has a bit off tanginess that yogurt has but does surprisingly taste like cream cheese too…..tangy cream cheese. I think the salt is what enhances the cheesy flavor. We also tried it with kefir and enjoyed that cheese too.
@@hilario032094 It looks like much more than 8 oz. to me. A regular block of cream cheese is 8 oz. The one she made looks like at least twice that size...

Mary, excellent video. I am so grateful for this lesson. My daughter has a cottage bakery and loves to cook and bake. Recently she has had a problem with store bought cream cheese in making cream cheese frosting. It is just weird and separates. Will not incorporate. A little research revealed this is what happens when cream cheese is frozen. It may be by accident, but it is across brands. Or it is done on purpose for shelf life. Whatever the reason cream cheese no longer works in recipes. This is a perfect solution and I can make it for her. It always makes me happy to be able to help my kids in their lives.
It isn't only with cream cheese that I've noticed.....but even cheeses no longer taste, or melt like they once did. All food to me lately tastes artificial lately and not reminiscent of the tastes I remember as a child.
@@sasharadjenovic4230 Yeah companies are cutting corners and you can taste it. The mcdonalds chicken nuggets, may have chicken in them but I think they are mostly some filler or a meat substitute. They are not any good at all.
As a newly married couple, my husband and I wanted to try and make our own cream cheese and this video was perfect! We followed each step and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you! ✨
Hello Mary, thank you so much for this instruction on cream cheese. I tried it and the results are great! I did cheat, though, as I'm lazy, so I stabbed the bottom of the yoghurt tub in several places and place it on a small glass tumbler in a large glass jug. After a couple of days I removed the lid of the tub, placed baking paper over the top of the yoghurt and put weights on it. Left it for a few days and the cheese was perfect.
I made cream cheese according to your instructions and just now tasted the results. OMG, it's really, really good! I'll never buy the commercial brands again. Smooth and rich!
Hi Mary, I tried this method, both with store bought yogurt and homemade. Both batches came out of the fridge yesterday and they're perfect! Thanks for this. It's getting harder to find cream cheese at the store these days so it's nice to be able to make it myself.
@@jessicaautry1216 This is quark. It's sour with a totally different texture from cream cheese. The only similarity is that they're both soft cheeses. If all you want is a soft cheese, just about any type will do. I can't stand the taste of quark. It's like none of you have functioning taste buds. At least it makes life easier when you aren't picky about what you eat.
This is so useful for me, because I have allergies to texturizers in cream cheese, so I've been without cream cheese for years. Now I'll get to have my carrot cake and eat it, too!
Mary you are awesome. I stumbled onto your videos while I was laying in my sleeping bag, fresh off a backpacking trip and waking up to a rooster at 4:30am that wouldn't shut up. I spent the first hour of my early start watching some of your videos and already have strained yogurt in our fridge for future cream cheese. I love using basic ingredients making something nutritious, tasty, and efficient. Old school simplicity takes the cake every time. Subscribed instantly!
Hi Mary, thank you so much for the informative video! I want to let you know that in the Middle East, we call "yogurt cheese" as "Labneh" which is usually eaten as a breakfast spread with olives, veggies & of course best with Olive Oil
Mary, I couldn't sleep and thought "what can I listen to that would be soothing?" Your voice, and content was the first choice for me! Here I am!! I get to learn, and calm down. I feel like I'm in your kitchen, having a cup of herb tea! Keep up the great work. We need people like you. 🤗
Mary ! You are the best chef and instructor in the whole world. 😊. Oh this reminds me , PNEER is a cottage cheese primarily and anciently made by Afghan people and the whey is sun dried finally to get that white crust solid product , which is used in salads.
Hi Mary I’ve made my 1st. Cream cheese, butter & sour cream. And I just started my sour dough this morning. I’m so excited I found you. All has been a success. I’ve redid my pantry to make more pioneer friendly. I’m going to start canning again this spring. Thank you so very much for encouraging me to press forward. And I love the book by the way.
Very nice cream cheese. I have been making cheese for about 6 or so years. This is a new technique for me, using plain yogurt. I just happened to buy a carton of plain as a new culture so will save a tbsp for next cheese batch and use rest to try this. I also use the 100% cotton tee towels for straining everything. 👍👍 Edited to add my result - DELICIOUS and EASY! I have made cream cheese from many different recipes over the years. This is most flavorful and easiest. My new go-to recipe for cream cheese. Thanks, Mary🌺🌺👏👏
This is the easiest recipe. My second stage is in the fridge and will be ready in 7 days. I can't wait (but I will). Since you can freeze the whey, I filled an ice cube tray. Tomorrow I'll pop the whey cubes out and keep them frozen in a plastic container so I can use small portions, one or two at a time, in other recipes. Mary's a sweetheart.
I'm going to try this method. I have a lot of allergies so I was looking to make my own cream cheese. This looks so much easier from what I've found. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings from Thailand - Im half way through making this, inspired by Mary. If it turns out good its about 1/3 cheaper than store bought. If I make my own yoghurt it will be even cheaper again - thanks Mary for the amazing tips so detailed and a pleasure to watch!
Made my first batch a week ago; unfolded it today....BEAUTIFUL! I have a recipe for pumpkin bread with a cream cheese filling...and I can't wait to make those loaves with my homemade cream cheese! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!
For heaven's sake! FINALLY! A north American woman with no vocal fry, no upspeak and isn't nasal. You're unique Mary. The content is pretty good too. Thank you.

I’ve saved the whet and fed to my dogs mixed with their food and they love it. I also feed it to my chickens (mixed in with their table scraps) which they love as well. I’ve made farmer’s cheese but not cream cheese. I’ll give it a shot (hopefully soon). Great video!!
She is such a delightful person. I'm so grateful for these videos. My mom was a wonderful cook but I lost her when I was 9 yrs old. There is so many questions I have that these videos answer since I can't call heaven and ask my momma or granny. Thank you. 😊
Hi Mary, greetings from Wales in the UK. This is a great video! I first watched it about a month ago, and your method works very well!😍 I have been culturing my own yoghurt (and soured cream by the same method) for over 40 years, and I didn't realise you could ue it to make cream cheese - I shall never buy it again 😃 Thank you very much! These days to make yoghurt I enrich a litre of Jersey milk with about 200g evaporated milk, so the yoghurt is thick and rich, making an excellent cream cheese. It goes very well with my own Ukrainian-styl;e sourdough-rye bread and smoked salmon, topped with a slice of pickled gherkin I'm 67 now, and have been a passionate cook and foodie since I was 11, and although I'm rather set in my ways, I always learn something new from your videos😎
Sounds like the yoghurt would taste too good to want to 'lose' it by turning it into cream cheese. Also, how can you 'enrich' Jersey milk: it's a perfect milk. Although I understand what you are saying I wouldn't dare add anything to perfect Jersey milk. 🙂
Mary: I made homemade cream cheese (which I used to make a cheese cake in my instant pot) ....the cake turned out lite and creamy.....tastier than a cake made with store bought cream cheese !
Carol....did you strain the yogurt you made in your IP using a Greek strainer? If so, did you just keep the yogurt in it for a week (as per Mary's video)? I make yogurt too using the IP and then I stain a bit (I think 2-3 hours) with a Greek strainer, hence why I'm asking you! LOL
Didn't know you can make cheesecake in an instant pot? I make it by hand and all my friends are wild about my cheesecake recipe I've been making for 41 years. TFS instapot version ! 🙂
👍Ma’am I have was moved to tears by your kind voice etc. 💝 My mom passed away years ago at the age of 51 😔and I was think you remind me of her...mannerisms and everything. Thank you for this info, demo and video. 🤗💞🤗
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I am so sorry that your mom passed away but I am confident that she is watching over you from heaven! Glad you’re here! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I watched a video on YT, I can’t remember which one but I use my instant pot with the yogurt function. If you don’t have an instant pot you can find other ways on YT
Mary, Lord only knows how YOU popped up in my recommended videos algorithm which is reserved for my preferred Political Commentary, Electronics, Micro Soldering, Leathercrafting and Tarot videos.......but here we are. And I'm SOooooooo glad you did. You've got to be the most charming, calming, pleasant, reasonable, articulate, insightful and lovely TH-cam personality I've ever come across. I scrambled to quickly click the subscribe button for fear of losing you forever. I'm so excited to explore your older videos and look forward to learning more and more and more. You appear to genuinely have the "heart of a teacher" which is rare these days. Any goober can throw up a video or Powerpoint and portend to instruct but the "heart of a teacher cannot be faked. It's that rare instance wherein the teacher actually gets more out of the exchange than the student. The ability to inform and assist others shines through with you and I thank you for sharing your gifts.
I do this with salted 5% fage Greek yogurt and I strain it overnight and it comes out with the cream cheese consistency. I just use a sieve. ITS DELICIOUS and pleasantly tart ! I give the whey to my dogs- good to learn it’s full of probiotics,
I'm excited to think you left me the message with all that information. I cook all the time. I have a large garden. And freeze , dehydrate, can and pickle. I use all natural fertilizer insect spray and pull weeds by hand. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks
I made this a few weeks ago and once i added salt i was amazed at the taste. The texture was great too! I used it to make cheesecake. It was great. No one could tell the difference!
Mrs. Mary I could watch you all day! You are a phenomenal women I love how you get down in the kitchen.

I thank you for sharing all of these great nutritional meals and ways to prepare food for our families. Be blessed and safe!
I really want to put a helping hint out there for Anyone who reads this, I decided to try using a reusable mesh bag like you would use for produce and it worked phenomenally. I personally think it works better than cheesecloth in a strainer and you can just wash it off and reuse it. Can even bleach it if you're worried about

@@MarysNest I will have to search for a very very lovely Peach Custard Pie recipe from one of my mother's old cook books. It is one that is out of this world and you are so special and deserving of this wonderful treat. I had it in the 80s when my sister made it during my visit and never had it again until I move to her area. She gave me the cookbook and I made it in the 2007, but it haunted me until then, a fabulous pie. I hope I still have the book. Fingers crossed.
Mary I am now in the cream cheese phase. I didn’t get very much Whey at all. I did use whole milk yogurt so don’t know why I got so little. You have helped me so much. Tomorrow I tackle sauerkraut. I also saw a receipt for fermented Mayo. I want to try that as well.
Oh Mary…. I’ve had great success with this one 🥰🥰🥰(unlike my attemp at butter last week 😂). I made two lots. I was extremely surprised how much moisture the cloth draws out in that week while resting in the fridge. And the taste is *superb* so much better than shop bought. I ended up with 489g in one block and 378g in the second block, (different brand of plain yoghurts) I will most definitely do this again. *THANK YOU ❤️*

Hi Mary, thank you for this recipe. I tested the process with a few grams of Yoghurt. Drained and stored it. It still tasted a bit "yoghurty on the 2nd day. But on the 5th day, it already tasted a whole lot like a cream cheese. Not salty. Ate it as it is. It taste good. Will use it to bake my cheese cake. Thanks again.
@Ajay, @LoneWolf. Yes it did. I salted it first to taste and mixed it well to make it smooth and creamy. Kept in the fridge to set. Then used the next day to make the cheesecake. The cream cheese tasted a little different from the normal processed cream cheeses from the store. I bought the tastiest yoghurt.. I used 1kg (35.2 oz). It yielded approx 400-500 gms of cheese.
So glad a GAB member recommended your channel. Am now hooked and learning a lot, even after decades of cooking for a family of 4. You're a bright spot in my day and I thank you for taking time to share your knowledge. God bless you, sweet Mary.
Mary, first let me say how much I adore you. You just radiate kindness, goodness and incredible knowledge about natural food. Thank so much for sharing all this wonderful wisdom and knowledge. Could you tell me what the yield is on this cream cheese. Is it comparable to one block of cream cheese from the grocery, for example? I know you said the container you have it about 8 oz. I just need to verify. Stay safe and healthy.
Linda Johnston - Hi Linda, oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for the kind words. You made my day. The block of cream cheese can vary based on how much whey is naturally occurring in the yogurt and drains out. It can vary between 8 - 12 ounces. Love, Mary

Could one maybe use sour cream, instead of yogurt? Because strained yogurt/yogurt cheese is an excellent sour cream substitute, I wondered if the reverse is true, here?
This video should not have been for over five minutes but for your sweet talking I can sit and watch another fifteen minutes. Watching and listening to a stress free person like you really hepls drain out some stress from the viewers. Thanks Mary..
Ok. UPDATE...I did it! First time I had to keep changing out my cloth. (Please make sure your cloth has not been put in the dryer with softener as it will transfer that smell into your cheese). I used my own homemade fresh Greek yogurt and took it a step further (step 2 in this video). The 2nd time is did this I put a heavier weight on top after putting my yogurt cheese in the cloth then put the lid on my bowl. I just took it out today after a week (5 days) and it turned out a tad sweeter than the first. (Probably because I had strained my first one for (13 days cause it was still to wet). But now I have 2 lbs of cream cheese for my Thanksgiving day. I lb for my "No bake Cream Cheese Cake", which I have printed out from your website MS. Mary. The other I will use for a dip. Thank you. Now I have the confidence and know how to do this. It taste just like store bought cream cheese and so creamy. Can't wait to make the cheese cake. I 'll make that comment on that video and let you know how my guest and family liked it, I know they'll love it. Thank you so much
I absolutely love this Mary!! I make my own yogurt and now I will enjoy turning that yogurt into cream cheese! Thank you so much for showing how to do it. ♥
HI Mary, thanks so much for your great recipes. I have just tried my cream cheese (today is 4th and it is supposed to be ready on 6th) and it is already great. Really tastes good and has a lovely consistency. Plenty thick enough. I am somewhat stunned by the magic that turns yoghurt into cream cheese. Next batch I will add garlic and black pepper as this is the way we like it but wanted to make the first one native so I knew what base I was dealing with. of course I am also pleased that this has good bacteria in it. I also drank the whey, diluted somewhat, over several days. So nothing wasted.
I purchased the flour sack towels you recommended and I have to say, I love them! I used them with the bone broth and look forward to using them for this recipe as well. They cleaned up wonderfully as well. All these years I've looked at cheesecloth, the cost, and thought, What a waste. So I avoided recipes that called for their use. But now! It's a whole new list of fun things to explore. Thank you.
Thanx for this recipe Mary. I am on a Ketogenic diet and the 'natural' way of making simplistic home foods is a big part of Keto. I think we all have lost our way into supermarkets and the faster way of the preparation of foods and the convenience of them, and totally forgetting about the healthier, unadulterated ways. Food companies are here to make money on what they sell, not considering the health factors of what they put into them.👍👏👏😁😍😘🇦🇺
Its so good to watch a 15 min video and get new information for wach second. No repetition at all. Thank you, truly enjoyed your presentation. Stay blessed.
Oooh you are the sweetest most adorable presenter l have seen on youtube. Sooo mellow and cheerful. May God bless your soul. I bet everything you cook is yummy!
THANK YOU!!!! I saw your video yesterday and tried it right away. I used my left-over-store-bought-plain yogurt and when i checked it after 24 hours it was DELICIOUS! I love how creamy it is now and have stirred in some onion tops as “scallions”. Can’t wait to have this on bagels for breakfast tomorrow. 💕
@@daphneraven6745 it was delicious! Highly recommend chopping the veggies into small pieces unless you like them chunkier. The cream cheese needs only a little salt and it’s so much better than store bought. VERY easy on the stomach too.
Thank you so much, Mary! This is exactly what I need. After reading the ingredient list on a package of cream cheese the other day, I said heck no. I’m not eating that garbage. And here you are with this wonderful recipe. I love you and your wonderful videos🌸
I am so glad I saw this before going shopping tomorrow. I planned on getting Greek yogurt and cream cheese, but have changed my mind. Guess what I will be making tomorrow. Thanks for all your informational videos. May God bless you.
I usually don't like following American cooks because they use too much of everything. Especially sugar, however you've just earned a new subscriber, it's the voice that drew me. So calm and reassuring 😀😀😀
This is a great method. If anyone makes your own yogurt and splurged on a yogurt strainer, leaving the plain yogurt in the Greek yogurt strainer makes cream cheese the same as Ms. Mary's method. I have left my Greek yogurt in the cheese cloth too long before my husband bought me a strainer, and Ms. Mary is absolutely right. It picks up off flavors. Great video!! ❤️
Fantastic! I just love you. You make me want to try EVERYTHING! I enjoy your no-big-deal delivery. Cooking should be fun, and you have a great knack for taking the mystery and pressure out of it. I literally grab a cup of coffee to watch you make things, because I feel like I'm sitting right in your very welcoming kitchen. You are a gem.
Mary I just “found” you today and WOW! As others have said, you are so calming, informative, all with a little humor! ☺️I really think you could make a horror story sound sweet!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing your talent and I look forward to learning more from you! God Bless🙏😘
This video made me think of a time when many women weren't working outside the home, and had time to make wonderful, creative healthy dishes for their families.

I say, THAT'S WORK!!!! Mary, Mary, you are such a treasure! God bless you n the beautiful work of your hands♥️
Hello from India...🙏Came across this vdo today....Thanks a lot for this easy way making vdo of Creamcheese....I make a sweet dish cald 'Shrikhand' from the way u showed the straining of Yogurt (hung curd) and then almonds, pistas, saffron, sugar, cardamom powder, is added and it's eaten with puris...thanks a ton for this recipe. I'm definitely making it..bcos it's very expensive in the stores...🙂🙏🙌
Thanks for the great technique, Mary! A super simple and delicious way to use your cream cheese is to pour your favorite salsa over it and serve with tortilla chips.
Bless you! This is a real public service during the pandemic. Many of us can’t get to the grocery store. We have to use what we have. A neighbor shopped for us. I asked for a pint of heavy cream for my coffee. She couldn’t find it at stores, so went to Costco! I’m going to see if you have a video to make butter with it.

Thank your turial hi teteh marry
Why do you have 2 coffee makers?
This is not how to make "cream cheese". What this makes, is a denser yoghurt cheese. Well enough, if that is what you are trying to make. But don't think this will taste like commercial cream cheese...it won't! It may be full of probiotics...but its only similarity to real cream cheese is its texture...not its taste...and this is not cream cheese as you know it. To make proper cream cheese, start with sweet cream...not yoghurt, and you'll need mesophilic culture and some rennet. Just thought you should know before you start.
The cheese is nais amazing.
Hi, Mary. doesn't that large Yogurt costs more than the cream cheese that you buy at the store?
Hi Mary,
I just want to mention that “Lebneh” is a middle eastern cream cheese that has been made from yogurt for over a thousand years. We make it with homemade yogurt. Usually, we wait until the yogurt turns sour and add salt to it before we put it in a cotton cloth bag. We do tie the bag tight and put it in a strainer on the counter for a couple days. Afterwards, we roll one inch yogurt balls and place them in a glass jar. Then we add olive oil, cover with lid, and refrigerate. It will last forever as long as the olive oil covers the yogurt balls. So, if you think your yogurt is spoiled because it’s sour, think again😉. Anyways, it’s delicious to spread on pita bread with Mediterranean olives and a cup of tea. Enjoy!!🥰🌷💕🌷
You’re are one of the sweetest and most genuine lady on the internet! Thank you Mary🌻💕🥰
Wonderful, I am going to try this, thank you!
@@tamaleenyouknowwhatimean777 You’re welcome! if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to help.
now that is something I have to try
do you flavour the olive oil ?
Great idea. Nothing like homemade. We know what is inside ... Thank you for sharing ...

I teach in China where cream cheese is a rare find, but yogurt is on every shelf. Thank you for this!
Indians use this process to make a dessert called Srikhand. Add sugar and cardamom or mango, for different flavored Srikhand.

Omg Mary so much positivity. That's what the world needs right now. Cream cheese and good old fashioned friendly warm cordial positivity.
Wait, what?! She has a cordial video???
Hi mary, made my first batch of yogurt during the lockdown by watching your videos and am extremely grateful. I do have a useful tip for the leftover whey if anyone is interested, what I do is use the whey as my new starter culture meaning I don't have to bother buying store bought yogurt to use as starter. I have sometimes gone anywhere from one month to three months in between batches and the refrigerated whey always works. Sorry for being so long winded and thank you again.
Thank you, this was helpful!
Noted!
Wow! I always throw my whey out. How much whey do you use in your recipe?
I bake bread or other baked goodies with whey. Makes it fluffier and nicer in texture
@@canadianproud1729
Sorry it took so long to reply.i never thought someone would comment. I usually use 2 or 3 tablespoons per 2 cups of milk. Hope this helps
When she said "Hello sweet friends" I felt like she was giving me a word hug
Dear Mary! Your cream cheese is really "glorious", as you say. My wife and I have made it exactly following your instructions. We used 800 g of 10% yogurt and got 370 g excellent cream cheese, which is a lot more than we had expected.
By the way, I love your perfectly clear English which reminds me of that of my English teacher years ago (I am Czech). It is really a treat to watch your videos, absorb your straightforward explanations and enjoy your lovely smile. Thank you so much. 👍
So I just bought 2 tubs of cream cheese, each tub was 7.5 ounces and I paid nearly $10.00. I can get a 32 ounce tub of organic yogurt for under $5.00. Guess who is going to use your method for making cream cheese? Thanks Mary!!
❤
If you have an instant pot make Yogurt in it. The more you strain it the more cream cheese texture and flavor. A gallon of milk makes over 64 ounces of yogurt, or 32 ounces of cream cheese. Costs less than $ 5 to make.
When I was a child my mom had a Salton yogurt maker. She made all our yogurt homemade. I miss her cooking.
She passed away 3 days before her 49th birthday. It’s been 27 years and I miss her witty-ness, her food. I miss talking to her on the phone, I wish I could hear her voice again.
Oh Tina! I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was so young. I know what you mean. I wish I could hear my mom’s voice again too. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
@@MarysNest
I am sorry for your loss too; losing loved ones is so hard. My pops lost his parents in a tragic accident when he was 7. He was at school when it happened. So I didn’t know my grandparents from either side of my family and my sons had 1 grandpa my dad that lives 3 states away but we always get together for the holidays and go camping in the summer.
He is 83 and he said he thinks this will be his last one as its getting to hard for him to pack and prepare. The whole family chipped in and rented the whole camp ground out for a week long family reunion. Cousins aunts, uncles are spread out throughout California, Oregon and Idaho. And I myself have lived in all 3 states as my pops was a long haul truck driver.
I wish you good health and many blessings.
❤
Hugs
Thank you for this revolutionary technique. I strained my homemade yoghurt overnight and used it to make cheesecake. It was so smooth and creamy. Heavenly! Thank you!
same, but i had to make homemade graham crackers myself.......
I have used cottage cheese to make cheesecake. It works!
Thanks I was wondering if it would work to make cheesecake.
Can you please share the recipe of the cheesecake
We have this in our cuisine in Damascus since ages and ages and we call it "Labneh"
But we take is a step further in so many different ways.
For instance, we mix it with herbs like thyme, tarragon, mint and olives mostly black, we call Labneh, put them in jars and cover with extra virgin olive oil.
I add some garlic to it and it's super delicious.
Another kind, we mix Labneh with hot chili flakes, allow to ferment at room temperature for 24 hours, then roll the balls in a mixture of dried thyme leaves, oregano, sumac and sesame seeds, and we soap the balls in extra virgin olive oil, and this way called "Shanglish".
This is a basic element in Syrian cuisine, you can never find a home in Syria that doesn't have it.
However, very well done dear lady.
Omg, just unwrapped my first batch of cream cheese. The BEST cream cheese I have ever tasted. I will never buy it again. Thank you ❤️
So happy to hear this!! ❤️😋❤️
Did you add any salt to it
@@shawnabelle2824 no there was no salt added but you can do so if that is a flavour you want. With dried dill pickle powder maybe? With sundried tomatoes?
SO MANY THINGS WE BOUGHT AND FELL FOR............
We are very lucky to have a local yogurt called Krema that has 11% butterfat. The cream cheese ends up so thick and rich. It's resurrected my love of bagels. Yum
Just watched this entire thing for absolutely no reason. Now I’m excited to try making my own cream cheese! 😆😆
😊🎉 same here
Right. I'm interested in making real cream cheese. Homemade is very different than Philadelphia brand. It's the same texture as the delicious and expensive Boursin herb cream cheese. Mary's recipe does not equal cream cheese.
This is the first time I'm seeing her and gotta say I had a smile throughout looking at her she's so smiley and positive.

try this recipe of COTTAGE CHEESE GRAVY WITH RED YELLOW BELL PEPPER AND GREEN CAPSICUM. its super tasty try this th-cam.com/video/V4X1YY5jEHA/w-d-xo.html
We used greek yogurt (store brand) and it worked. We shortened the straining time to about 12 hrs instead of 24, and we are packing it in the fridge for only 5 days. The texture so far is great and it tastes like cream cheese too!
That’s because the fermentation process is basically the same
You just got less whey. If you don't intend to do anything with the whey, seems like a better approach. Thanks for sharing. I'll give that a try since I'm allergic to whey.
Question though, does it actually taste like store bought cream cheese? Also, do you add salt?
@@goodwork887 I added salt. I think it has a bit off tanginess that yogurt has but does surprisingly taste like cream cheese too…..tangy cream cheese. I think the salt is what enhances the cheesy flavor. We also tried it with kefir and enjoyed that cheese too.
@@Sarah19604 so one 32 oz of yogurt yields 8 oz cream cheese?
@@hilario032094 It looks like much more than 8 oz. to me. A regular block of cream cheese is 8 oz. The one she made looks like at least twice that size...

Oh my goodness... the kindness in her voice is so soothing!!! Like learning from a sweet grandma!!
Mary, excellent video. I am so grateful for this lesson. My daughter has a cottage bakery and loves to cook and bake. Recently she has had a problem with store bought cream cheese in making cream cheese frosting. It is just weird and separates. Will not incorporate. A little research revealed this is what happens when cream cheese is frozen. It may be by accident, but it is across brands. Or it is done on purpose for shelf life. Whatever the reason cream cheese no longer works in recipes. This is a perfect solution and I can make it for her. It always makes me happy to be able to help my kids in their lives.
Your last sentence and thought was so sweet about loving being able to help your children in their lives. 💜
Probably shipped frozen due to shipping problems
It isn't only with cream cheese that I've noticed.....but even cheeses no longer taste, or melt like they once did. All food to me lately tastes artificial lately and not reminiscent of the tastes I remember as a child.
@@sasharadjenovic4230 Yeah companies are cutting corners and you can taste it. The mcdonalds chicken nuggets, may have chicken in them but I think they are mostly some filler or a meat substitute. They are not any good at all.
@@MA-mh1vs Look up "mechanically separated chicken", enjoy your nuggets!
As a newly married couple, my husband and I wanted to try and make our own cream cheese and this video was perfect! We followed each step and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you! ✨
Does it really taste as the store bought cream cheese or at least very close?

Hello Mary, thank you so much for this instruction on cream cheese. I tried it and the results are great! I did cheat, though, as I'm lazy, so I stabbed the bottom of the yoghurt tub in several places and place it on a small glass tumbler in a large glass jug. After a couple of days I removed the lid of the tub, placed baking paper over the top of the yoghurt and put weights on it. Left it for a few days and the cheese was perfect.
Wow, you're lazier than I am. Never would have thought of that. * Bows to the master * 💪
That's not lazy, that's inventive!♥️
I had thought about doing the same. Glad to hear it worked well.
My dad once said that the best inventors are the lazy ones trying to make their lives easier! lol
😂Love this. So true! @@jasmynteo5429
I made cream cheese according to your instructions and just now tasted the results. OMG, it's really, really good! I'll never buy the commercial brands again. Smooth and rich!
Hi Mary, I tried this method, both with store bought yogurt and homemade. Both batches came out of the fridge yesterday and they're perfect! Thanks for this. It's getting harder to find cream cheese at the store these days so it's nice to be able to make it myself.
Would you say that the taste is similar to store-bought cream cheese?
@@jessicaautry1216 It had a very, very slight tang to it, but otherwise was the same.
@jlotus100 Okay, thank you so much for answering!
@@jessicaautry1216 This is quark. It's sour with a totally different texture from cream cheese. The only similarity is that they're both soft cheeses. If all you want is a soft cheese, just about any type will do. I can't stand the taste of quark. It's like none of you have functioning taste buds. At least it makes life easier when you aren't picky about what you eat.

Mary you are awesome. I stumbled onto your videos while I was laying in my sleeping bag, fresh off a backpacking trip and waking up to a rooster at 4:30am that wouldn't shut up. I spent the first hour of my early start watching some of your videos and already have strained yogurt in our fridge for future cream cheese. I love using basic ingredients making something nutritious, tasty, and efficient. Old school simplicity takes the cake every time. Subscribed instantly!
I am truly impressed by her mentioning paneer. We make it in Indian kitchens all the time.
I make it in my Western kitchen fairly often too!
I am American and I would rob a bank for paneer!

Hi Mary, thank you so much for the informative video! I want to let you know that in the Middle East, we call "yogurt cheese" as "Labneh" which is usually eaten as a breakfast spread with olives, veggies & of course best with Olive Oil

Love how you explain the science of making the cream cheese. You're an excellent instructor!
This cheese is called Labna in Lebanon. Try adding olive oil to the finished cheese . Delicious
Hi Mary I’ve made my 1st. Cream cheese, butter & sour cream. And I just started my sour dough this morning. I’m so excited I found you. All has been a success. I’ve redid my pantry to make more pioneer friendly. I’m going to start canning again this spring. Thank you so very much for encouraging me to press forward. And I love the book by the way.
Very nice cream cheese. I have been making cheese for about 6 or so years. This is a new technique for me, using plain yogurt. I just happened to buy a carton of plain as a new culture so will save a tbsp for next cheese batch and use rest to try this. I also use the 100% cotton tee towels for straining everything. 👍👍 Edited to add my result - DELICIOUS and EASY! I have made cream cheese from many different recipes over the years. This is most flavorful and easiest. My new go-to recipe for cream cheese. Thanks, Mary🌺🌺👏👏
This is the easiest recipe. My second stage is in the fridge and will be ready in 7 days. I can't wait (but I will).
Since you can freeze the whey, I filled an ice cube tray. Tomorrow I'll pop the whey cubes out and keep them frozen in a plastic container so I can use small portions, one or two at a time, in other recipes.
Mary's a sweetheart.
Thanks for the hot tip on the freezing.
I'm going to try this method. I have a lot of allergies so I was looking to make my own cream cheese. This looks so much easier from what I've found. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings from Thailand - Im half way through making this, inspired by Mary. If it turns out good its about 1/3 cheaper than store bought. If I make my own yoghurt it will be even cheaper again - thanks Mary for the amazing tips so detailed and a pleasure to watch!
Made my first batch a week ago; unfolded it today....BEAUTIFUL! I have a recipe for pumpkin bread with a cream cheese filling...and I can't wait to make those loaves with my homemade cream cheese! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!
Does it taste like true Philadelphia cream cheese, that's the question?!!

Hi Mary, greetings from Wales in the UK.
This is a great video! I first watched it about a month ago, and your method works very well!😍 I have been culturing my own yoghurt (and soured cream by the same method) for over 40 years, and I didn't realise you could ue it to make cream cheese - I shall never buy it again 😃
Thank you very much!
These days to make yoghurt I enrich a litre of Jersey milk with about 200g evaporated milk, so the yoghurt is thick and rich, making an excellent cream cheese. It goes very well with my own Ukrainian-styl;e sourdough-rye bread and smoked salmon, topped with a slice of pickled gherkin
I'm 67 now, and have been a passionate cook and foodie since I was 11, and although I'm rather set in my ways, I always learn something new from your videos😎
Sounds like the yoghurt would taste too good to want to 'lose' it by turning it into cream cheese.
Also, how can you 'enrich' Jersey milk: it's a perfect milk. Although I understand what you are saying I wouldn't dare add anything to perfect Jersey milk. 🙂
Your calming voice and straight forward delivery is exactly what we need right now.
Mary: I made homemade cream cheese (which I used to make a cheese cake in my instant pot) ....the cake turned out lite and creamy.....tastier than a cake made with store bought cream cheese !
Oh Carol!! I am so happy to hear this!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Can we use this to make a baked cheesecake ?
Carol....did you strain the yogurt you made in your IP using a Greek strainer? If so, did you just keep the yogurt in it for a week (as per Mary's video)? I make yogurt too using the IP and then I stain a bit (I think 2-3 hours) with a Greek strainer, hence why I'm asking you! LOL
Didn't know you can make cheesecake in an instant pot? I make it by hand and all my friends are wild about my cheesecake recipe I've been making for 41 years. TFS instapot version ! 🙂
@@SweetChicagoGator Please share your recipi.🙏
There should be away to say I just love this video rather than just press like cos I just love this thank you Mary love from Ireland
👍Ma’am I have was moved to tears by your kind voice etc. 💝 My mom passed away years ago at the age of 51 😔and I was think you remind me of her...mannerisms and everything. Thank you for this info, demo and video. 🤗💞🤗
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I am so sorry that your mom passed away but I am confident that she is watching over you from heaven! Glad you’re here! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Mary's Nest - 🙏Thank you ma’am. Your reply was exactly something she would say and do.🤗💞🤗🙏
I make my own yogurt and have been for years- now I’m going to try making cream cheese from my yogurt
So excited
Thank you!
I was just thinking about that myself. I might just try that with a batch!
how do.u make yogirt girl??
I watched a video on YT, I can’t remember which one but I use my instant pot with the yogurt function. If you don’t have an instant pot you can find other ways on YT
Yes, yogurt whey is probiotic. But putting in bread and cooking it in the oven will kill it.
This is not cream cheese. It's just greek yogurt
Mary, Lord only knows how YOU popped up in my recommended videos algorithm which is reserved for my preferred Political Commentary, Electronics, Micro Soldering, Leathercrafting and Tarot videos.......but here we are. And I'm SOooooooo glad you did. You've got to be the most charming, calming, pleasant, reasonable, articulate, insightful and lovely TH-cam personality I've ever come across. I scrambled to quickly click the subscribe button for fear of losing you forever. I'm so excited to explore your older videos and look forward to learning more and more and more. You appear to genuinely have the "heart of a teacher" which is rare these days. Any goober can throw up a video or Powerpoint and portend to instruct but the "heart of a teacher cannot be faked. It's that rare instance wherein the teacher actually gets more out of the exchange than the student. The ability to inform and assist others shines through with you and I thank you for sharing your gifts.
Oh my goodness!! Thank you for the kind words!! You made my day!! ❤️🤗❤️
Maybe divine intervention!?🤭

I couldn't have said it better myself! God bless you sweet lady! I bet you're a dream mommie. 😇😇 Cheryl
this is what I was thinking and you worded it very nicely. Mary, keep on teaching ♥️
I do this with salted 5% fage Greek yogurt and I strain it overnight and it comes out with the cream cheese consistency. I just use a sieve. ITS DELICIOUS and pleasantly tart
! I give the whey to my dogs- good to learn it’s full of probiotics,
I'm excited to think you left me the message with all that information. I cook all the time. I have a large garden. And freeze , dehydrate, can and pickle. I use all natural fertilizer insect spray and pull weeds by hand. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks
I made this a few weeks ago and once i added salt i was amazed at the taste. The texture was great too! I used it to make cheesecake. It was great. No one could tell the difference!
At which point did you add the salt? How much? TIA.
Mrs. Mary I could watch you all day! You are a phenomenal women I love how you get down in the kitchen. I usually make my cream cheese using the lemon juice and I have no doubt this is the better way. I thank you for sharing all of these great nutritional meals and ways to prepare food for our families. Be blessed and safe!
Carla Sings my mom has started making homemade yoghurt too haha
I really want to put a helping hint out there for Anyone who reads this, I decided to try using a reusable mesh bag like you would use for produce and it worked phenomenally. I personally think it works better than cheesecloth in a strainer and you can just wash it off and reuse it. Can even bleach it if you're worried about
Thanks for this. I'm going to give it a try since I have the bags handy.
Nice 👍
I had the same idea and yes it works well.
Where can I buy mesh bag
@@times461 I've picked them up at Dollarama and grocery store's produce section too
The most patient youtuber, the way she talks is just so satisfying to hear, only if she was a teacher I'm imagining

I will have to search for a very very lovely Peach Custard Pie recipe from one of my mother's old cook books. It is one that is out of this world and you are so special and deserving of this wonderful treat. I had it in the 80s when my sister made it during my visit and never had it again until I move to her area. She gave me the cookbook and I made it in the 2007, but it haunted me until then, a fabulous pie. I hope I still have the book.
Fingers crossed.
She home schooled. She mentioned that in her sweetened condensed milk viedo.
Thank you for a great tutorial. You make it look not only easy but actually doable! Thank you and God bless YOU.
Cherie Nicholas - Hi Cherie, Thanks so much. Yes, it’s so easy...and rich in probiotics which we all need lots of these days. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Mary I am now in the cream cheese phase. I didn’t get very much Whey at all. I did use whole milk yogurt so don’t know why I got so little. You have helped me so much. Tomorrow I tackle sauerkraut. I also saw a receipt for fermented Mayo. I want to try that as well.
You'll have the Whey to add to you mayo. Makes the home made mayo last 3 weeks in fridge.
These are the things I do not have in my repertoire! And I could listen to you all day. So glad to find you! God Bless you.
Oh Mary…. I’ve had great success with this one 🥰🥰🥰(unlike my attemp at butter last week 😂). I made two lots. I was extremely surprised how much moisture the cloth draws out in that week while resting in the fridge. And the taste is *superb* so much better than shop bought. I ended up with 489g in one block and 378g in the second block, (different brand of plain yoghurts) I will most definitely do this again. *THANK YOU ❤️*
I am so happy to hear this!!❤️🤗❤️
This is amazing! I love watching you and thank you so much for sharing your abundance of knowledge with the rest of us. May God bless you richly!

Hi Mary, thank you for this recipe. I tested the process with a few grams of Yoghurt. Drained and stored it. It still tasted a bit "yoghurty on the 2nd day. But on the 5th day, it already tasted a whole lot like a cream cheese. Not salty. Ate it as it is. It taste good. Will use it to bake my cheese cake. Thanks again.
Did it work for your cheese cake? Was that sour .. before I invest one week for my cream cheese 😕
Plz tell me too.. did it work for cheesecake????
@Ajay, @LoneWolf. Yes it did. I salted it first to taste and mixed it well to make it smooth and creamy. Kept in the fridge to set. Then used the next day to make the cheesecake. The cream cheese tasted a little different from the normal processed cream cheeses from the store. I bought the tastiest yoghurt.. I used 1kg (35.2 oz). It yielded approx 400-500 gms of cheese.
@@garyalfjose thanks .. mine was a fail 😁
@@ajay3d 😣
So glad a GAB member recommended your channel. Am now hooked and learning a lot, even after decades of cooking for a family of 4. You're a bright spot in my day and I thank you for taking time to share your knowledge. God bless you, sweet Mary.
Mary, first let me say how much I adore you. You just radiate kindness, goodness and incredible knowledge about natural food. Thank so much for sharing all this wonderful wisdom and knowledge. Could you tell me what the yield is on this cream cheese. Is it comparable to one block of cream cheese from the grocery, for example? I know you said the container you have it about 8 oz. I just need to verify. Stay safe and healthy.
Linda Johnston - Hi Linda, oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for the kind words. You made my day. The block of cream cheese can vary based on how much whey is naturally occurring in the yogurt and drains out. It can vary between 8 - 12 ounces. Love, Mary
my head just exploded. no idea this was possible. running to make this now.

Could one maybe use sour cream, instead of yogurt? Because strained yogurt/yogurt cheese is an excellent sour cream substitute, I wondered if the reverse is true, here?
New York, you need this recipe right now!
This video should not have been for over five minutes but for your sweet talking I can sit and watch another fifteen minutes.
Watching and listening to a stress free person like you really hepls drain out some stress from the viewers.
Thanks Mary..
Ok. UPDATE...I did it! First time I had to keep changing out my cloth. (Please make sure your cloth has not been put in the dryer with softener as it will transfer that smell into your cheese). I used my own homemade fresh Greek yogurt and took it a step further (step 2 in this video). The 2nd time is did this I put a heavier weight on top after putting my yogurt cheese in the cloth then put the lid on my bowl. I just took it out today after a week (5 days) and it turned out a tad sweeter than the first. (Probably because I had strained my first one for (13 days cause it was still to wet). But now I have 2 lbs of cream cheese for my Thanksgiving day. I lb for my "No bake Cream Cheese Cake", which I have printed out from your website MS. Mary. The other I will use for a dip. Thank you. Now I have the confidence and know how to do this. It taste just like store bought cream cheese and so creamy. Can't wait to make the cheese cake. I 'll make that comment on that video and let you know how my guest and family liked it, I know they'll love it. Thank you so much
Oh Brenda! I am so happy to hear this!! Love, Mary
I wish I could put a picture on here of it. I'd love for you to see it.
@@MarysNest UPDATE...My Cheesecake turned out yummy and perfect!
I absolutely love this Mary!!
I make my own yogurt and now I will enjoy turning that yogurt into cream cheese!
Thank you so much for showing how to do it. ♥
HI Mary, thanks so much for your great recipes. I have just tried my cream cheese (today is 4th and it is supposed to be ready on 6th) and it is already great. Really tastes good and has a lovely consistency. Plenty thick enough. I am somewhat stunned by the magic that turns yoghurt into cream cheese. Next batch I will add garlic and black pepper as this is the way we like it but wanted to make the first one native so I knew what base I was dealing with. of course I am also pleased that this has good bacteria in it. I also drank the whey, diluted somewhat, over several days. So nothing wasted.
First time watching you, I was looking for recipes to use cream cheese and came across your video. You’re the sweetest lady ever
I purchased the flour sack towels you recommended and I have to say, I love them! I used them with the bone broth and look forward to using them for this recipe as well. They cleaned up wonderfully as well. All these years I've looked at cheesecloth, the cost, and thought, What a waste. So I avoided recipes that called for their use. But now! It's a whole new list of fun things to explore. Thank you.
May I ask how do you wash your towels ? Even with my unsented laundry soap there is a fragrance left behind.
Thanx for this recipe Mary. I am on a Ketogenic diet and the 'natural' way of making simplistic home foods is a big part of Keto. I think we all have lost our way into supermarkets and the faster way of the preparation of foods and the convenience of them, and totally forgetting about the healthier, unadulterated ways. Food companies are here to make money on what they sell, not considering the health factors of what they put into them.👍👏👏😁😍😘🇦🇺
Hi Joy, Did you notice on the back
of the plain yogurt container
that some contain 11 grams of
sugar. Shows no grams
of added sugar 🤔
@@marya4847 Yes I know. I am appalled at what the are allowed to get away with. With your recipe I can put in my own Stevia etc.
Thanx again.
Mary, you get an A+ for your aprons. This one with the strawberries is stunning!
Its so good to watch a 15 min video and get new information for wach second. No repetition at all. Thank you, truly enjoyed your presentation. Stay blessed.
Oooh you are the sweetest most adorable presenter l have seen on youtube. Sooo mellow and cheerful. May God bless your soul. I bet everything you cook is yummy!
THANK YOU!!!! I saw your video yesterday and tried it right away. I used my left-over-store-bought-plain yogurt and when i checked it after 24 hours it was DELICIOUS! I love how creamy it is now and have stirred in some onion tops as “scallions”. Can’t wait to have this on bagels for breakfast tomorrow. 💕
A Rise Grows in Harlem: How did it turn out?
@@daphneraven6745 it was delicious! Highly recommend chopping the veggies into small pieces unless you like them chunkier. The cream cheese needs only a little salt and it’s so much better than store bought. VERY easy on the stomach too.
Thank you so much, Mary! This is exactly what I need. After reading the ingredient list on a package of cream cheese the other day, I said heck no. I’m not eating that garbage. And here you are with this wonderful recipe. I love you and your wonderful videos🌸
My mom used to put a pear half in a dish with a slice of cream cheese on top & a sprinkle of nuts. Yummy desert!
I am so glad I saw this before going shopping tomorrow. I planned on getting Greek yogurt and cream cheese, but have changed my mind. Guess what I will be making tomorrow. Thanks for all your informational videos. May God bless you.
Dear Mary, in my country we add fresh garlic to this, it tastes great, you can add chives to it or fresh dill.
I usually don't like following American cooks because they use too much of everything. Especially sugar, however you've just earned a new subscriber, it's the voice that drew me. So calm and reassuring 😀😀😀
Wow, thank you! And WELCOME! So glad you're here!! Love, Mary
Hi Mary HUD watching from sunny south Africa 🇿🇦 love your technique I love making cheese cake so this is marvelous stay blessed 🌹💝
This is a great method. If anyone makes your own yogurt and splurged on a yogurt strainer, leaving the plain yogurt in the Greek yogurt strainer makes cream cheese the same as Ms. Mary's method. I have left my Greek yogurt in the cheese cloth too long before my husband bought me a strainer, and Ms. Mary is absolutely right. It picks up off flavors. Great video!! ❤️
Fantastic! I just love you. You make me want to try EVERYTHING! I enjoy your no-big-deal delivery. Cooking should be fun, and you have a great knack for taking the mystery and pressure out of it. I literally grab a cup of coffee to watch you make things, because I feel like I'm sitting right in your very welcoming kitchen. You are a gem.
Mary I just “found” you today and WOW! As others have said, you are so calming, informative, all with a little humor! ☺️I really think you could make a horror story sound sweet!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing your talent and I look forward to learning more from you! God Bless🙏😘
Couldn't have said it better myself, She is truly amazing!

"Make your own cream cheese"...Step One: Go to the store and bypass the already-made cream cheese and buy some yogurt.
This video made me think of a time when many women weren't working outside the home, and had time to make wonderful, creative healthy dishes for their families.
Mary's Nest is helping to reveal how much "WORK" the ladies who stay home, work from home n WORK AT HOME to serve, protect, preserve, feed n teach, first their families n also their relatives n friends. I say, THAT'S WORK!!!! Mary, Mary, you are such a treasure! God bless you n the beautiful work of your hands♥️

Thanks for the great technique, Mary! A super simple and delicious way to use your cream cheese is to pour your favorite salsa over it and serve with tortilla chips.
My family calls this strained yogurt cheese Lebneh in Arabic ❤️ I really enjoyed your video. Please keep up the good work.
Bless you! This is a real public service during the pandemic. Many of us can’t get to the grocery store. We have to use what we have.
A neighbor shopped for us. I asked for a pint of heavy cream for my coffee. She couldn’t find it at stores, so went to Costco! I’m going to see if you have a video to make butter with it.
you dont need a video. just beat the cream until it becomes butter.
here's a video on how to make butter: th-cam.com/video/0MAzSv3SlnY/w-d-xo.html
