Full recipe below, officially the best bagels & cream cheese I’ve ever had. Sourdough sea salt bagel w/ hot chocolate cream cheese + marshmallow fluff, and a cinnamon crunch bagel w/ gingerbread cream cheese🌲 Sooooo good omg. For the plain cream cheese base: Ingredients * 10 cups whole milk * 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice * ½ teaspoon salt + more to taste Instructions * Place milk into a large pot and bring to a boil. * Stir in the lemon juice and turn the heat off. Let it sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes. * Strain the liquid (whey) from the curd in a fine mesh strainer. You can let it slowly drip out for 20-30 minutes, or squeeze it out, or a little bit of both. Use a cheesecloth or nut milk bag if you have one, or a paper towel lining the mesh strainer works too. Save the whey for pancakes or other things. * Place the strained curd into a blender. Add the salt & blend until completely smooth. It will be thick at first before it starts getting smooth. If it’s really too thick, add in a little bit of whey or cream. * Pour into an airtight container and add flavorings if you’d like. Let chill in the fridge before serving. It will thicken up slightly. Enjoy!! For the flavored cream cheeses, I sadly did not measure the things I added in, I just added it until it tasted right. I will put the ingredients below for what I added, and you can add them until it tastes how you like!🫶 Hot chocolate cream cheese: -cocoa powder -malted milk or dry milk powder -melted dark chocolate -if needed: coconut sugar or any sweetener Gingerbread Cream Cheese (These are the approximate measurements I used) * 1 Tbsp Molasses * 1 tsp ground ginger * 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon * 1/8 tsp ground cloves * 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg * little bit of sugar or honey, to taste The bagel recipe is from TheCleverCarrot.com and is titled “Best Sourdough Bagels (Soft, Chewy, Easy!)”. Enjoy!!!!
