I found an interesting use for the culture since I've not been able to make cheeses yet. I have to order some stuff online since I can't get it locally like cheese rennet and calcium chloride.
In the mean time, I made a carrot cake and thought I had some cream cheese in the fridge. I didn't. So, I made my usual butter cream frosting which consists of butter, sometimes some shortening, confectioner's sugar, vanilla and milk.
I like to use canned milk in my butter cream frosting as it adds a richness of flavor, but carrot cake stands out best if cream cheese is used and I would have used that instead of shortening..and didn't have the cream cheese as mentioned.
SO, I took about 1/4 cup of canned milk and added 2 cubes of the frozen culture and let the culture thaw, mixed it well into the milk and used THAT to moisten the frosting ...viola I had cream cheese flavor in the frosting without adding a drop of cream cheese! It was excellent! It was pretty surprising lol!
Nobody experiments with cheese making or fermented foods?
As an American you have the right to not believe in guns. You also have the right to not believe in God. But if someone is trying to break into your home, or wants to harm you, the first thing you will do is pick up the phone and call someone with a gun. The second thing you will do is pray that they get there in time. ~Don Moore
