Does anyone make their own cream cheese?
I have never made it, but I searched the net and there are several recipes out there for making your own.

How to Make Cream Cheese
homemade cream cheese recipe
Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 cups of cream cheese
Ingredients

2 cups cream
2 cups milk
1 package cream cheese starter culture OR (1/8 teaspoon) Mesophilic starter culture
Fine cheesecloth or a tea towel
Salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
Use a glass container to hold your cream/milk and gently stir in the starter culture
Loosely cover (not airtight!)
Leave on countertop 8 to 12 hours to culture, time varies depending on temperature
It’s ready when it somewhat resembles yogurt
Dump thickened cream into cheesecloth and allow whey to drip out at least 12 hours (the longer it drips, the firmer your cheese will be)
Scrape out of cheesecloth and lightly salt to taste (salt is optional, but it lasts longer)
Store in an airtight container in fridge
Notes
It gets firmer as it chills

I have, I even made the no cook cheese cake, it was okay, but nothing like the cooked cheese cake.
Back when I eat all the sugar, I still did not put a cup of sugar in the crust.
