I second Petunia's vote on any sweet berry flavor cream cheese on bagels..
GOOGLE up 'making cheese' and check out some of the sites that come up.. This is something that I intend to try my hand at if I ever get the time..

I make my own cream cheese, its so simple. if you have one of those large containers of yogurt, a handi-wipe or cheese cloth, a strainer and a 1/2 tsp of salt. combine the salt an yogurt, let it lay in the cloth in the strainer, set that in a bowl so it can drip, cover with ends of the cloth an place in the fridge. 24 hours later you have natural cream cheese an can then add anything your heart desires to make it even more tastier. Stew Face 2 enjoy!! it don't last long here.

philly is just a little sweeter but if you add berries or pineapple to the cheese it makes up the difference, an it has to sit for 24 hours to get out all the whey. if you don't you have cream cheese with water all puddled around it...the taste in my opinion is a brighter taste an way fresher than store bought,,, but then it is faster to go to the store,,,,,


don't forget add the extras after its has sat for 24 hours.

I would definatly make my own everytime. Its creamier an more tastier,, but then i am partial,, its my cheese,,lol.

also, to by cream cheese here in norway (at least where i live) it cost bout 10 norwegian crowns, an a large natural yogurt is about 15 crowns, the store cream cheese is 200grams an the yogurt is 400grams, you get the same amount when all the whey is taken out, both 200grams,, it ends up costing more, but ohh so worth it. 5 crowns is nothing here in norway but it was the point i was trying to make that homemade is more but way better than the store brands,, an yes we do have philly over here too, but i won't buy it, mine is better,,lol.

Never know that, Biita, I'll have to try it!
My fave- salmon cream cheese on a freshly-made, toasted garlic-topped bagel with paper-thin slices of tomato and red onion.

the kind i usually make is with minced garlic, minced red sweet pepper, fresh basil, corriander and lemon balm. it never lasts long here an i usually make 2 at a time, just double the salt to 1t instead of a half. but i usually use a little less salt since i'm not a salt fan. but you need it for the process.

We also do that Sjoerd

I also stuff peppadews with cream cheese for a more savoury snack. My children think it is delicious.
