Herb and Garlic Yogurt Cream Cheese

This herb and garlic yogurt cream cheese is an excellent alternative to store-bought cream cheese and can be made using your own homemade yogurt! With a mild tang reminiscent of fermentation, I now prefer it to regular cream cheese. The process is super simple, and if you've just made whey, then you're already halfway there!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Organic, Plain Yogurt (homemade works great!)

  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

  • 1- 2 Tbsp Medley of Fresh Herbs, finely chopped. Use what you have, e.g. chives, rosemary, sage, thyme, basil, oregano

  • 1/2 tsp Salt (or season to taste)

    Instructions:

  • Strain the whey from the yogurt using this method.

  • It will take about 24 hours for enough of the whey to drip out.

  • Store the whey in the fridge, and use the leftover yogurt for the cream cheese.

  • Combine the leftover yogurt and all of the ingredients above. Spread on toast, sandwiches, or use in cream sauces. Enjoy!
