Soft and sweet Philadelphia cheese resembles cream and is in itself a ready-made dessert. It can be mixed with berries, fruit supplements, pour over syrup or chocolate and served to a sweet table. “Philadelphia” can replace mascarpone for tiramisu, as well as serve as a filling for other desserts.
In the following version of the preparation of this cheese, sweet milk is pasteurized (and at home it just boils) and mixed with a small amount of kefir. Under the action of lactic acid from kefir, hot milk coagulates and it remains only to separate the whey to get the basis for “Philadelphia”. Adding eggs, in principle, is not necessary, but they give a beautiful color and the necessary thickness.
