Milk Kefir Cream Cheese
This is my favorite way to consume milk kefir - as healthy probiotic filled kefir cream cheese!  It is super easy to make, and tastes better than any store bought cream cheese or 'shmear' I have ever tried.  

Ingredients

• 1 liter of thick dairy milk kefir (goats milk is great!)

 
Directions

• Remove kefir grains and 10% of kefir to use to start your next batch of milk kefir
  
• ​Strain through a nut milk / Chinese soup bag
• Put bag in a colander, in a glass bowl
• Put a weight on top and let is strain and ferment on the counter for 24 hours 
• Stop straining when it gets to the thickness you desire
• Flavor to use as a dip or spread
• Save the whey for future use
  

Flavor Ideas for Kefir Cheese

• Nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, onion powder, high mineral salt
• Mixed herbs and garlic powder, high mineral salt
• Fresh herbs, scallions, high mineral salt
• Chopped sun dried tomatoes, basil, high mineral salt
