Making cream cheese at home had always been on my list and I kept postponing desserts using it because I don’t get cream cheese at my place. Hunting cream cheese wasn’t easy here at times a near by super market stocks it up very rarely but it is too expensive. But making at home is not only free from preservatives, it is also cheap. So do try your own batch and enjoy!

About Cream Cheese
Cream Cheese needs just few ingredients to be made at home. It is pretty much cheaper and also you get the self satisfaction of making it at home with the very easy and minimal ingredients. I referred around 4-5 recipes and came with this version.
There were many of the cream cheese recipes which was apt like paneer making and hung curd making. This is slightly different with the add on process. Though the actual cream cheese making involves some culture making and some techie things, this is only a substitution but works so well.

Cream Cheese Ingredients
- Milk – Use full cream preferably for best results.
- Curd – Use home curd or store bought curd.
- Lemon – Lemon juice is added to curdle the milk.
How to make Cream Cheese Recipe Step by Step
1. Boil milk, add lemon juice and stir continuously until the whey water and cheese separates. You can see the whey separating from milk as seen below. Switch off.
2.Now pour this into a muslin cloth and drain water. Then wash it in cold water twice at least to get rid of the lemon flavor. Leave it aside keeping a container under it for 15 minutes for the water to drain.
3.Then add curd and mix well. Now transfer it to the mixer and grind this mixture to a smooth paste.
4.Now transfer this again to the muslin cloth and bring the ends together and tie a knot and hang it on a cupboard handle. Leave it aside for 5-6 hours till all the liquid is drained completely. You can place a container under the hanging to collect the dripping. Then open and collect cream cheese in a bowl and refrigerate it overnight.
Your homemade cream cheese is ready…When you want to use it, bring it to room temperature then use it for your cheese cakes or frosting for cakes.
Expert Tips
- You can also use 1/4 cup cream to get a richer version.
- If you use full cream milk you will get more quantity and creamier version of cheese.
- You can refrigerate up to 2 weeks for usage. I am not sure whether it will keep well even more than that.
Serving and Storage
You can use homemade cream cheese for desserts and other dishes. Store in fridge and it keeps well for about 2 weeks.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is curd and where would I find it in my US grocery store? I can buy a cheap store brand cream cheese for about $1US but I prefer to make all my own food.
Thanks!
Tracee
Archana B
Tracee, curd is just plain yoghurt. non flavoured, full fat is what you will need!
Shabitha Karthikeyan
I never thought of making it at home. Lovely Sharmi. Will wait for the mango cheesecake now !!

Chithra
We need to store it in freezer or chill tray?
Sharmilee! :)
@Vhithra : Just in the racks is fine…
Chithra
Okay Thanks Chechi!
Chithra
And one more thing chechi, does the amount of cheese we get depend on how much we stir after the whey separates??
Sharmilee! :)
@Chithra : It does depend on it but mainly depends on the full cream/low fat milk we use….
Alexandra
I had exactly the same problem.. though i used exactly the same quantity as said in the recipe and plus, i used full cream fresh milk directly taken from a neighborhood farmer. So with 1L milk i just had about 150gr (about 5oz1/2) cream cheese.. i was so sad too because i saw your pictures and it seems like you had a lot more cheese.. mine looks so little. But anyway this cheese is soooo good and tasty ! i love it!
So tomorrow i'll try to make another one again.. Do you have some advices ? like more lemon (perhaps?), stirring more or low heat for the stove or anything else? Thank you so much!
Chithra
oh then may b thats y i didnt get much thou i used full cream milk. i stopped the stove abt 2-3 min aftr the whey water sepearted (as soon as i added vinegar it strted seperating) 🙁 so sad 🙁
Arundhati Das
Hi, love ur Recipe but can u tell me when to add the Full cream if we want more consistency…?
Sharmilee! :)
@Arundati : Not really sure bu guess you can add it while blending…
Sandy
Great recipe, thanks for sharing. I'm a missionary in Kenya and can't get good cream cheese here. I just made your recipe and it turned out great. I was wondering if you've experimented with flavoring your cream cheeses at all and if you have suggestions.
Thanks!!

Pooja
Sharmi, can't wait to try out this recipe. A clarification before I embark upon the much awaited do-able recipe. The cream will be added along with the curd?

Add the cream along with paste , mix well then transfer it to the muslin cloth.

Hey thanks I just made this by using half litre milk. Wanted to check if instead of doing this process can I just buy paneer and throw it in the mixer along with some curd and cream and would it still give me
Cream cheese. I mean if I just use paneer there would. Be more quantity and it's easier as we'll thanks Lemme know.

Liji
wonderful recipe..i had a doubt. your tip says 1/4 cup cream to get a richer version…would that be along with curd or instead of curd????
Sharmilee! :)
Add it while blending with curd
Rechana Mohan
I found your recipe when i was craving to eat Cheese cake. I couldn't find cream cheese in stores near my house. This recipe worked fine and I could make a little cheese cake with that cream cheese. Thanks a lot Sharmi. Your recipes have always helped me work out wonders in the kitchen .. 😉

Thanks a lot…my boyfriend is a huge fan of cheesecakes but I couldn't find any around my place…I tried the Britannia one…but I found it to be too salty..

Unknown
thank u for the recipe sharmi! i wanted to noe how is the taste..i mean to remove the smell of the curd can we add vanilla essence!
SHARMILEE J
It depends on the recipe you are going to use it for….if you are using it for strawberry cheese cake then use strawberry essence.
Patsy
Hi,
When do I add the 1/4 cup cream if I want a richer version? Is it fresh cream?
SHARMILEE J
Please check Lijis reply I had already given above….:)
.
Hi Sharmee,
I made one batch of cream cheese according to this recipe (in fact, didn't keep it out for 5 hours, just one or two) and it has become paneer-ish to touch after 12 hrs of refrigeration. Did I do something wrong? should it be softer?
SHARMILEE J
It may be slightly hard soon after you take it out from the fridge but after keeping it in room temperature for 10mins it will become soft.
Sanchita Ghosh
Dear Sharmilee,
Thankyou for such a nice and simple recipe for cream cheese. I usually used hung-curd as a substitute for cream-cheese. Now I'll use the real thing! Love.
puja sharma
thats a wonderful way to make cream cheese…thanks…i just wanted to know one thing…u said to hang the mixture for 5-6 hours…but as the weather is hot now it may turn sour so can we hang the mixture in the fridge instead n if yes than for how many hours inside the fridge…pls help…
SHARMILEE J
I dont think it will turn sour…but still if you are doubtful then hang for 3-4 hours, but make sure all the water is completely drained…Hope this helps!
Tina Dawson
Life Saver Sharmilee 🙂 I always wondered if this could be done using milk. Everywhere else I only found recipes using full cream. And full fat cream in the quantities needed for cream cheese are so expensive, it'd be cheaper to buy cream cheese itself directly! Thank You so much!
Sowmya Sundararajan
Wonderful Sharmi
Riti Kumar
Simple and amazing! Never knew it would be so easy. I have a silly doubt. Can I use it fresh without refrigeration for making cheesecake or is refrigeration mandatory to set it? Please reply soon.
SHARMILEE J
Homemade creamcheese should be refrigerated…I keep it aside in room temperature for few mins before I use it for cheese cakes…hope this helps!
Geetha Lakshmi

Dear Sharmilee,
It is really kind of you to share your knowledge so enthusiastically. I request you please give me recipees for 'Butter shortbread cookies' and 'Dinner rolls(Those eight shaped ones)'.While using all purpose flour for rolls and buns should we use gluten? How much gluten is to be added to the all purpose flour please?
Thanking You,
Witrh Regards,
Yasho
SHARMILEE J
Sure will post them in future…Maida(APF) itself has gluten content so no need to add it separately.

Timothy Mattackal
This worked so well and I was able to make cream cheese filled cupcakes that tasted amazing! I have been putting aside lots of recipes because cream cheese is rarely available-and very expensive when it is-but I can't wait to try them out with my home-made cream cheese!
Shaharban Hashim
hi sharmi ji… even i've been hunting for cream cheese for a while now. but of no use.. can u please tell me which milk did u use ?. one more doubt…do u directly run the cold water onto the paneer while washing, or do u wash it covered with thr muslin ? i hope u r clear…
SHARMILEE J
I used Aavin green pack….you can directly wash it as shown in the stepwise picture
Liji Joseph
Hi Sharmilee,
Your cream cheese recipe looks awsome. but i still have a doubt, do i use the packed toned cow's milk for this cream cheese making? i get all sorts or milk here, which are skimmed, toned,homogenized, and even straight from the local cowsheds, which is loose unpacked milk. Please guide whats best. We use amul toned milk at home.
Shuchi
Hello liji… as per my experience toned milk will not get that texture
SHARMILEE J
Oh not really sure I used full fat milk that we get here which is toned.You can try with amul toned milk itself…
Rana Manna
i just ended up using powdered milk for this and it worked just fine :))
Rana Manna
I just ended up using powdered milk and it worked out just fine :))
Olga
Can we use paneer as a substitute before adding the curd instead of the wheying process?
SHARMILEE J
Yes you can…just crumble paneer and use it.Fresh paneer is preferred for this recipe
saishah joseph
You are my savior!
I hope it comes out as good as it looks here!

hi i was wondering what kind of milk to be used? can i use full cream milk or any kind of milk will do, what are the kinds of milk can i use?? i'm confused… thanks.

Hi, found your recipe and I'm surprised to see such an easy method! Indeed, cream cheese is expensive and good that we get to make it at home.
I just wanted to know, have you tried using this in any baked cheesecake? I'm thinking of trying but am not sure how to go about with a baked cheesecake.
leena
hi sharmi,
thanks for sharing the recipe,but can it be used as the creme cheese which is used to stabilize the whipped cream??i love baking but unfortunately using gelatine(so that it doesnt melt away) creates a lot problem while piping for me.thnking of giving creme cheese or pudding instant mix a try.any idea??
SHARMILEE J
Oh I am not sure of it as I have used homemade cream cheese only for making cheese cake…Havent experimented much
Iggi Thomas
thanks i always wanted cheese with bicuits!!!!!
Svetha Subramanian
Hey I used 250 gms of fresh paneer to which I added 2 tbsp curd but still it's giving me the paneer feel instead of cream cheese ……any comment on it?

I never taste both these cream, but i have made cream cheese from your recipe and it tasted plained, and also little bit sour. Is that the cream cheese taste really like? What about the sour cream? Would you explain to me. Thank you for your kindly heart to make it very clear to me?

Hi sharmi… nice recipe will definitely try it … my son loves cakes.. cream cheese is very easily available in US… but in india i was not sure about availability. But looks like this recipe came out for another celebration.. thanks
Just one question is 1TBS curd is enough oufor that texture?
Sharmilee J
yes it is enough
Georgia Addison
Yah its really a unique way to make cream cheese. This is really new to me. I will surely try. Thanks for your idea.
suneetha gr
Hi Sharmilee I tried it today, I think I have added little more curd, it has slight smell of it and also it is little paste like. Couldn’t get a mass like cream cheese. What to do with it now. Can I still use it in layering cakes?? Can I make cheese cake out of it. Since I am not a regular Baker I can’t think of anything. I wanted to try a cheese cake. If you can suggest something , will be glad to know. Thank you💖
Sharmilee J
I think you can because the flavouring will mask the curd taste
Mary
Can we freeze leftover cheese?
Sharmilee J
You can but consume it atleast within a week.
Binta
Thank you so much. Please can we see the cheesecake you eventually made with this homemade cheese??
Or please tell me how it turned out or tag me please. Its so expensive here!
