Frankly, there are about 385 million ways to make a basic cream cheese, but this is the one that I think is most accessible to the average W-mart shopper.
Easiest Cream Cheese
1. Buy a quart of plain, active culture, one ingredient yogurt. Even if it says ORGANIC, still check the back.
2. Plop in cloth-lined bowl.
3. Gather and tie around spoon or other long object.
4. Suspend for 12 hours, allowing whey to drain. Check consistency. The longer the draining time, the firmer the cheese.
5. Chill, schmear, and enjoy!
