Instructions

5 steps
1
Place a strainer lined with a cheesecloth over a large bowl. It’s best to double layer to be on the safe side.
2
Pour your milk kefir over the cheesecloth, and gently twist the top of the cloth with a rubber band.
3
Place over a large bowl in the fridge and let the whey drain for at least 6 hours or overnight.
4
Once set, pour the whey into a jar for later use.
5
Now you have cream cheese, which you can enjoy it as is or season with salt, fresh herbs, or other spices. Keep it tightly covered and refrigerated.
