This little adventure started when I needed some whey to preserve the mayo I wanted to make. This is a very easy way to make whey (teehee). Way, whey...get it? I grabbed a new carton of my favorite yogurt, lined a strainer with some cheese cloth (I could have also used a tea towel) and put the strainer in a bowl. Then I just left it on the counter. Before bed, I poured off any collected whey and then stuck the bowl/strainer combo in the fridge.
The next morning, I poured off any of the whey that dripped out over night. Then (because my pitcher was holding OJ) I tied the little cheese baggie and hooked it over a wooden spoon and put it in my blender. It went right back into the fridge until the next morning. I did pour out the whey that dripped out before I went to bed.
In the morning I poured off the rest of the whey and noticed the cheese baggie had stopped dripping! The cheese is ready!! I just put it into a tupperware, put the whey in a mason jar, and I was all done!
The process did take about three days, but the effort was minimal. And the cream cheese is tasty!
