Creole cream cheese is Louisiana's answer to ricotta or burrata cheese. Traditionally, it's eaten with cream, sugar, and fruit spooned over the top or used as a substitute for yogurt.

Yield Makes 1½ quarts

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 quarts skim milk
1⁄4 cup buttermilk
1 rennet tablet

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepot over medium heat with a kitchen thermometer attached to the rim, warm the milk and buttermilk to 85°F. Add one-quarter of the rennet tablet and transfer the mixture to a plastic container or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and then poke a few holes in the plastic to allow the steam to escape. Let stand at room temperature in a cool spot in your house for 48 hours.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids to a double layer of cheesecloth set over a bowl and discard the liquid. Wrap the solids in the cheesecloth and hang it over the bowl (to catch the whey) in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • Discard the whey. Pack the cheese into an airtight plastic container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
