I was always annoyed at how expensive goat’s cream cheese is. 2 thalers for 4 euros? About that. So here’s the other method: You can now buy UHT goat’s milk in any medium-sized supermarket. And it works perfectly! Heat the milk while stirring until it boils, remove it from the stove, and add the yogurt and lemon juice. Keep stirring, perhaps bringing it back to a boil until the crumbs and whey are clearly separated. The whey is a clear, greenish liquid. Now pour everything through a sieve lined with a muslin diaper or other cloth. Kitchen towels are fine too. If you like whey, you can collect the liquid. For others, it goes down the sink. Go for a walk while the cheese cools. Once the cheese has cooled, it will already have the right moisture content. Now you can process it further, shape it, dry it further… whatever you like. Tip: Well-chilled whey mixed 1:1 with citrus juice is healthy and delicious.
