To prepare cream cheese at home, you will need a cream with a high percentage of fat and lemon juice. There are several conditions that need to be taken into account that the cheese turned out well. Firstly, the cream must be very bold, and secondly- the freshest, and thirdly, the household (of those that are sold in the store good cream cheese will not work).

In recipes, on average, usually requires cream cheese 200-300 grams. To get output about 350 — 400 grams of cream cheese, you need somewhere 800 ml of cream.

So, pour 800 ml of cream into a container and put it in a water bath. When the cream will acquire a temperature of about 80°C-90°C, stirring continuously input a tablespoon of freshly squeezed (and strained) lemon juice. Continue to stir, until the cream thickens.
