Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 8 cups milk
  • 6 tbsps of lemon juice
  • Dash of salt (optional)

Instruction

  • In instant pot, pour in milk and lemon juice. Give it a little stir.
  • Close the lid, seal the pressure valve and set instant pot for 6 minutes on low pressure.
  • Once finished, allow the instant pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then release any other pressure manually.
  • Stir result. Curds should have separated from milk leaving whey.
  • Place a cheesecloth over a strainer and remove the curds with a slotted spoon or spider spoon. Place the curds on the cheesecloth and let the curds come to room temp.
  • Once cooled, wrap the cloth and squeeze the curds until dry.
  • For smooth creamy cream cheese, place the cheese curds in a food processor and blend until smooth. This is the point you would add salt to taste and other flavor options.
