Instructions
- How to Make Kefir Cream Cheese
- Once the whey has separated about 1/4 inch from the kefir use a cheesecloth to strain it so you can separate the whey from what will become soft cheese.
- Hang above a jar or bowl and drain off whey for 12-24 hours.
- You'll need the plastic strainer to put the cheesecloth over it and a glass bowl to collect the whey.**
- When the kefir is no longer dripping, wrap the cheese in the cheese cloth or whatever you use to drain it and place it in a colander.
- You may place a semi-heavy object to help drain the whey faster.
- Once the whey has drained the end result will be a delicious and nutritious probiotics filled spreadable cheese.
- Enjoy
Notes
** Note: Do not toss the whey (liquid) there are millions of the amazing digestive enzymes in live probiotics in it too. Transfer it to a glass bottle/jar and store it for later use.
If you are daring enough add the whey to your homemade lemonade to make a probiotic lemonade like I do. ;)
