Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

STEP 1
Freeze kefir in a container that is shaped to fit into your sieve. If you buy kefir in half-liter bags, you can freeze directly in them, then cut them.
STEP 2
When the kefir is frozen, take a large saucepan and place a sieve with 4 layers of gauze in it.
STEP 3
Place frozen kefir on cheesecloth. Now you need to wait for the kefir to melt.
STEP 4
Then cover it with gauze and press down with a small press. You can make knots from the gauze and hang the kefir until the liquid has completely drained. After draining, the curd can be slightly squeezed out.
STEP 5
As a result, from 1 liter of kefir we got 230 grams of soft cream cheese. Now you can add salt, sweeten, pepper, add chopped dill, etc.

And I remember, as a child, my mother put several layers of gauze in a colander and poured kefir into it. Regular, not ice cream. I left it overnight, and in the morning there was sour cream. Or rather, we used this mass as sour cream.
