    • Start by keeping the milk and lemon juice ready. Boil the milk in medium low flame for 5 minutes. Stir it occasionally.

    Notes :
    • You can also directly make cream cheese from paneer/cottage cheese, for 1 cup of paneer add ½ cup of curd and blend it. Continue with remaining steps from step 5.
    • You can wash the collected cheese before draining if any raw smell of lemon is there.
    • Make sure to refrigerate the cloth setup after 4 hours. Otherwise the cheese may turn out sour.
    • The color and volume of cream cheese purely depends on the type of milk used.
    • Your could use vinegar instead of lemon juice.
    • Let the water drain out completely before you store.
    • Keep it refrigerated and stays fresh for a week.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
