Instructions

1. Combine 6 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and allow the mixture to come to a very light simmer (you should see bubbles start to form around the edges).
2. Then, stir in the juice of 1 lemon and turn off the heat. Let this sit for 10 minutes.
3. The curds should separate from the whey. Strain through a cheesecloth and sieve, until all the liquid is gone.
4. Transfer the curds to a food processor with 1 tsp of salt and blend until smooth.
5. Add the blended cream cheese to a mixing bowl, along with 2 tbsp each of diced carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, green onion, and fresh dill—mix together and enjoy!
