Cream cheese is culture milk with the whey removed. Therefore, strained yogurt is simply cream cheese. To make your own cream cheese at home all you need are a few simple tools. Start with a high quality, whole fat, plain yogurt. Using cheesecloth, place your cheesecloth inside of a strainer or a colander. Spoon your yogurt into the cheesecloth, and fold the edges over itself. Place the colander on top of the bowl and allow your yogurt to drip. As the whey drips, the remaining white paste is your cream cheese. Allow to drip for three to five hours or more depending on how moist it is. Store in the refrigerator in a glass container and simply enjoy.
