Cream Cheese #1


This was not exactly my first try at making cream cheese, or rather, Labneh.  However, my first attempts did not count since I was trying to rescue failed yogurt.  This time, I was not following a recipe but I had positive results nonetheless.  Basically, I put yogurt into a dish towel, tied it up and then let the whey drain out for 4 or 5 hours.  The recipe I have recommends letting the whey drain overnight but this may have been over-kill since 4-5 hours worked fine.

Notes:
The cheese was a little tart so next time, I should stir some salt before straining the whey.  However, if I forget to add the salt again, salt can be mixed in after the cheese is ready.
