Step cooking
- First, prepare all the ingredients and the desktop. Transfer 300 g of sour cream 25 - 30% fat in a deep bowl. The amount, consistency and creaminess of future cheese will depend on the fat content of sour cream. Sour cream should be chosen with maximum fat content - the cheese will turn out tastier.
- We add 280 g of 5% fat yogurt to sour cream. Yogurt should be natural without any additives. It also needs to be selected with high fat content. Instead of yogurt, you can use kefir 3.2% fat.
- Pour 1.5 tsp. lemon juice. If suddenly you did not have freshly squeezed juice, then you can add a pinch of citric acid.
- Add 1 tsp. salt. The amount of salt can be reduced, it all depends on your taste preferences.
- Next, mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The main thing is to achieve a smooth and uniform consistency, if you can’t do it manually, you can use a mixer or a blender.
- Then take a clean, deep bowl. We put a colander with a very fine sieve on it.
- We cover the colander with gauze in three layers. You can put a piece of dense fabric on top, so the cheese will have a smooth structure.
- Gently pour the sour cream and yogurt mixture into the center of the gauze.
- The edges of the gauze cover the milk mixture so that it is completely covered.
- We put a small plate or saucer on top and set some kind of cargo. It can be a jar of water, a small pan or any other heavy container. We put this design in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Serum will drain to the bottom of the bowl. It is best to cook such cheese in the evening so that in the morning you can already taste it.
- After this time, we take out the bowl from the refrigerator, remove the oppression, carefully unfold the gauze, and the Philadelphia cheese is ready for use. The easiest option would be to serve it, spread on bread or toasted toast. To give an extra flavor to the cheese, you can add any spices, garlic or herbs to it. In addition, this cheese is perfect for preparing various desserts, creams, rolls, snacks and various other dishes. Home-made Philadelphia cheese is not much different from the original; moreover, it will always be at your fingertips. Enjoy your meal!
