- 1. Heat the milk to a gentle simmer, 10+mins (depends on milk temperature to begin with) @ 100°C/sp2.
2. Set time to 4mins/60°C/sp2/
"Counter-clockwise operation" , and gradually add the vinegar, 1T at a time, through the MC hole. Do this over around 2-3mins.
3. Leave to develop curds in the bowl for 5 mins.
4. Strain gently through layers of cheesecloth or a clean damp Chux. Leave to drain for around 10-15mins.
I line the steaming basket and gently pour it into this to drain.
5. Return to the
"Closed lid" , add the salt and blend sp3.5 for a total of around 2 minutes, scraping every now and then, until smooth.
6. Place in a suitable container in the fridge.

Tip
The weight of the finished product depends greatly on the creaminess of the milk. a really creamy milk works the best and will give a greater yield.
I used 1 ltr of full cream long-life milk and got around 170g, finished weight.
You can easily double the amount...just follow the recipe in terms of bringing to a simmer etc.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Comments
Haven't tried half the recipe myself, as finished amount of cream cheese is approximately 170g which is smaller than the packet/tub you would purchase. Not sure if that helps at all.
Does it work if you halve the recipe?
Love this recipe. So easy! Find the result rather thick as I mostly make savoury dips, so next time going to drain for say 7 mins and see how texture is. Always have UHT milk in the cupboard, so can whip up on a whim!
