Now I'm going to show you how to make cream cheese for your bagel. We are going to use a cup of sour cream, I'm going to pour inside a small bowl and 2 tablespoon of yogurt, a pinch of salt. If you like it salter you can always add more salt to it but it is better not to add to much cause it might become very salty after getting all the liquids out. We are mixing it good and now I prefer a cloth, you can use a handkerchief or a cheese cloth. I'm going to pour inside, gather it from the sides and take a rubber band and just close it. You can see that it started to drip you can just squeeze it very very gently. If you squeeze it to hard then the cheese the sour cream is going to start coming out but just squeeze it gently it is going to help it become a cream cheese quicker. We are not going to do it to much and then you just hand it. You find a place in your kitchen, usually above the sink or if you want to hand it somewhere else you can have a bowl or something under it. You hang it for 24 hours up to 48 as need. I'm just going to leave out here to it is going to become nice and creamy.
