Oh my goodness this is a game changer. I just made a batch of the two to one ratio with cold water and I drank the whole thing straight from the nutri bullet. Then I did a second batch and I put some cocoa powder in it my wife and I drank the whole thing with such glee. This is amazing thank you.
I'm trying this right now! I hope it is perfect as-is, but if too sour I'll pinch in a little sweetener when I pour it. Normally I use heavy cream and water. Never considered cream cheese for "milk". Genius !
Thanks so much. I hope you like it. I've also used heavy cream and water for years now. I've been looking for an alternative for a while because so many say the macros for heavy cream is unreliable 😊😊😊
OMG! I saw this video quite awhile ago and I made the milk. I couldn’t remember exactly what to do so I tried to find this again. It took more then 45 mins, with every title I could think of, to find this video. This milk is absolutely wonderful. Great taste and long lasting. No sweetener, no gum. I use it for everything that calls for milk cuz I don’t like almond or other nut milks. Thanks so much
Oh wow!!! Thanks so much ❤️ Please subscribe so you don't have to waste so much time. We have a few more 1 ingredient recipes coming up...next is Taco shells 🥰 I hope you get to share the recipe with your community
@@CookwithMel1 . I am subscribed! But I’m subscribed to a lot of keto and low carb channels and I couldn’t remember where I saw this recipe. Lol. I truly love this “milk”. I used to buy raw milk but the farm went out of business during CV. I don’t buy grocery store milk…..pasteurized and chemicals I don’t want. But this is a great replacement since I don’t like the nut milks……they’re nuts, not milk, and it tastes like nuts in water to me. But this! The closest thing I’ve come to replacing real milk…….and it does last a long time. This will always be what I use in any recipe or to drink it straight. I made a smoothie with it this morning and it was delicious. I saw many recipes with cream and sugar substitute and xanthan gum but I knew your recipe was made with cream cheese. And I was determined to find it again. I’m so glad I did. 👍👏
@twinfin8571 I'm so excited to know its the best milk substitute you've tried. Thank you for the great review too! It sounds like you have tested it many ways which I'm pleased about ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Mel for this idea! I actually already had this experiment before because here alternative milk is expensive 🫰🏻 so a few years ago I tried to dilute heavy cream, I tried Greek yogurt, tried coconut milk and cream cheese as well. Then I found out that the way I like the best is to dilute peanut butter with water and have a peanut milk. Almond milk I didn't like as much. So now I stick to peanut milk but if I have a recipe that calls for milk I always use your technique because of it's neutral flavor as the peanut one would be too strong in a recipe. Love watching your videos ❤️
Oh wow great minds think alone, thanks so much for your beautiful comment and for sharing more ideas people could try...another one for you is diluted butter...a lady in the comments shared this. We are all do creative ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much 💓 It was shocking to me to discover the results at the end of my experiment. I hope you get to try it. Maybe compare prices too...I reckon this is cheaper to make cos Milk is expensive in NZ 😊😊😊
Oh wow! I have been trying to make a simple hot cocoa recipe for years! My husband and I love a nightly cup of cocoa in the winter, but finding a simple keto version is nearly impossible. I can not wait to try this. And..... I plan on trying this milk to make my summer Ninja Creami ice creams. I bet it would be fantastic! Thank you!!!!
Wonderful...so happy you saw this. Oh not sure if this will be helpful but here is a hot chocolate mix if you need it: ua-cam.com/users/shortspikuEUCht5o?si=-jKnhXkU4bRdZCv3
I don’t know the ingredients in other countries than Germany, but here PHILADELPHIA is not a (real) cream cheese - it’s a cream cheese preparation. There is a lot of bs in it. But based on this idea I‘d love to try it with a real one. Thank you for the idea.
@@Meg_88 thanks for your aggressive response. There is absolutely no need for this in a cream cheese. It’s a step to make it higher processed instead of leaving it quite natural. I did not want to offend anyone (besides the producer of Philadelphia) and I‘m thankful for any recipes that someone offers. This is social media - not unsocial media.
@@CookwithMel1 my comment was not meant to be offensive against you in any way (just to clarify). In Germany we have „Buko“, so no problem 😉 I’m sure there are also cleaner alternatives in the USA ☺️
Oh gosh...I actually loved your comment Delenn...I'm still trying to work out how things went south. Please don't pay it any attention. I love you guys and I learn alot of differing opinions. I think we can share differences without getting rude.
Ideia genial 💡com certeza(pausa para creme de leite+água 😅),mas confesso que me apaixonei pelo tempo de durabilidade🤑🤭😁🤗,sim, pois um mês é perfeito!🤩❤❣️❣️❣️ Muito obrigada,vc merece um 🏆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❣️
Im confused, I want to make sure I do this right. On your video you say you use 125 gms of cream cheese but in the recipe listen below, it says 250 gms of cream cheese. In your tutorial, I can see that you didn't use the full cream cheese...............which do I do?
Hi 👋 It's because did it in 2 batches. Please follow the measurements in the description box. Another way to explain is for however much Cream Cheese you're using, you will need double the amount water 😊
Okay BUT I bet you could make the most delicious chocolate milk and HOT CHOCOLATE!!! 🤤 Edit: I just finished watching the video and you were way ahead of me. 🤦🏼♀️😂
Thank you for the video. I’ve been watching your channel and when I watched this video, I do have to say I am a little confused. What is the benefit to having this milk as opposed to regular milk? Sorry if I sound a little dumb Is this just for the delicious taste or is there a benefit?
Hello there, thanks so much. No it's not dumb at all. Regular milk isn't allowed on the keto diet but we are allowed cream. Problem with cream is the carb count can be unreliable so that's why I used cream cheese
I love the ingenuity of this recipe, so no hate or shade towards the creator at all. I guess I am sensitive to cream cheese "flavor". Mine has aged 2 weeks and it's still just as "sour" cream cheese tasting as the first day. I used the 2 to 1 ration with Philly Cream Cheese. I have tried putting this in a smoothies, keto granola, coffee was a HUGE no and other things and the cream cheese flavor is super pronounced. I won't be remaking this, I am only putting this here if someone else is sensitive to the flavor of cream cheese, this is doesn't taste like cream, half and half or even milk, think unsweetened liquid cheesecake. Which is delicious, but not what I wanted to drink...lol It has a very creamy texture though.
@@CookwithMel1 thank you for your understanding, please keep coming up with these cool ideas though! Creativity keeps this style of a diet fresh and fun ❤️
Hello Mel, I’m a little bit confused. Have you used 125 gr. Philedelphia for half a liter? Or 250 gr.? Thank you for the recipe 🙏💐 I really appreciate it. I’m also from Germany and going to use another cream cheese. I have almond milk for my coffee at the moment but I’ll let you know.
Hi There. My blender cup was too small to add the whole 250g so I had to split it. In total I used 250g cream cheese to 500g Water. Although that's a 2:1 ratio you could also use a 3:1 ratio because my milk is quite rich and creamy. I hope you enjoy it...love my German friends so thank you for letting me know 😊 ☺️ 💜
Thanks so much Sun Flower. Mmmm actually...please take a look at my latest tortilla and naan video and add baking powderto the recipe. Only because when cooked them they started puffing up a little 😊😊😊
Hi Mel, do you have any ideas how to make a keto version of milktart/melktert ? I used to love them back in the day. I would love a how-to video if it is possible. Thanks for your recipes and ideas. Keep it up 🙂 much appreciated.
Hi 👋 Sure I can help here if you like. I developed a keto friendly flour here: ua-cam.com/video/6zfy7jfq65k/v-deo.htmlsi=3lCW-z4WganwK84J Using any melktert recipe you would replace the flour with this. Then it's your sweetener instead of sugar and keto friendly milk. And hey presto you're all sorted.
@@CookwithMel1 Thanks. I can get the bamboo fibre here in Germany fortunately. Some other keto ingredients are sometimes a bit more difficult to get here, then I have to improvise.
The milk tastes great. It doesn’t last long with me for I like Philadelphia cream cheese very much. I’m not able to attend the live tomorrow. I’ll watch the replay. I’ll miss you❤ very funny video Chris! ❤
Interesting. A few years ago, I read that you could use cream cheese in your coffee instead of cream. It is good, but not quite cream. I will try this! God bless.
You can kind of tell in the close up of the hot cocoa. For me it's definitely a good coffee creamer but I agree with Beckie...let us know your thoughts ❤️
@CookwithMel1 hey, yeah.. it's similar. I usually add about 300ml of boiled water to a blender then drop in a large wedge of butter - 25g upwards.. I haven't really measured it - this much is for my hot drink. I usually add a couple of egg yolks to it to make it extra creamy too. But I blend in as much butter as I want really 🤷🏾♀️ sorry I couldn't be of more help with the measurements x
This is SUCH A WONDERFULLL & thoughtful recipe Thank you so much The same milk could be used to make a tomato base soup creamy To make cauliflower mashed potatoes this is just a yummy recipe that can be used so many many ways thank you thank you I personally will use it a lot I have just subscribed to your channel. Have a beautiful day. Dear lady 🥰🥰🩷😊🌸💕
Thanks for the support Opal...appreciate it. Oh the possibilities are endless. My other thought is if we used less water then could we make heavy cream. An experiment for another day. I hope you enjoy it ❤️❤️❤️
Lol, I don’t know what it is about you, but I just love your laugh and bubbly personality. I usually am annoyed by bubbly people, so when my partner and I were watching your video and we heard your laugh, he said "ok, I'll change the video" but I told him, "No, leave it, I like it". He looked at me kind of strangely lol. Anyways, you now have 2 new subscribers, even if I don't try anything you make, I'm here for your laugh and bubbliness.
Oh wow...what fabulous compliments. Lolol I'm sure alot of people find my quirky annoying haha. I see my Chewbacca laugh reared it's ugly head in the live show today...glad it doesn't make an appearance in the regular videos. Thank you...you made my day ❤️
Hoe gaan dit Marie? 😊 Yes from Durban but emigrated in 2002. Unfortunately my accent is messed up these days. I did good for so many years 😊 When I go back home it returns instantly though.
I compared the nutrition facts, and the cream cheese wins, hands down. One cup (249 grams) of whole milk with 3.25% fat contains 88% water, 8.14 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of fat. 8 0z (1 block or 224g) of Philadelphia Cream Cheese contains 16g of protein, 8g carbohydrates, 0g added sugar, and 80g fat.
Oh wow...now that is interesting! I wonder how come mine says less than 1g carb per 100g. With the dilution factored in...that's how I get to zero carbs up to one cup. I'm a little disappointed Philly cream cheese macros are so different from country to country though. You did an awesome experiment though...thank you for sharing.
@@CookwithMel1 wow really? I’ve never seen that in my country. I’ll definitely look into it. Thank you! I have a feeling I’ll have a reaction to it anyway though because cream cheese has so many ingredients. I can’t seem to tolerate anything that has multiple ingredients especially if it came from a factory.
Oh sorry about that...I also know you can make your own. Please check out this website he has quite a few lactose free recipes even sour cream: georgeats.com/recipes/lactose-free-cream-cheese-recipe/
@@CookwithMel1 oh my goodness, you are so kind. Thank you so much. I didn’t know you could make lactose free cheese at home. This is definitely something I would like to try. Thank you!
Not at all...just sharing an idea. If you're being nasty to a stranger who is sharing their knowledge with you for nothing in return do you think maybe it's time for therapy?
I can confirm 3 to 1 ratio works too and love how super easy it is to make.
Oh good...you're the first to confirm 3:1 works great. Thanks Michael ❤️
Awesome! I was hoping it would work.
Oh my goodness this is a game changer. I just made a batch of the two to one ratio with cold water and I drank the whole thing straight from the nutri bullet. Then I did a second batch and I put some cocoa powder in it my wife and I drank the whole thing with such glee. This is amazing thank you.

Lol, I don’t know what it is about you, but I just love your laugh and bubbly personality.
I usually am annoyed by bubbly people, so when my partner and I were watching your video and we heard your laugh, he said "ok, I'll change the video" but I told him, "No, leave it, I like it".
He looked at me kind of strangely lol.
Anyways, you now have 2 new subscribers, even if I don't try anything you make, I'm here for your laugh and bubbliness.
Oh wow...what fabulous compliments. Lolol I'm sure alot of people find my quirky annoying haha. I see my Chewbacca laugh reared it's ugly head in the live show today...glad it doesn't make an appearance in the regular videos. Thank you...you made my day ❤️
@@CookwithMel1I'm glad I made your day. 😊
Any idea how well this will work as a milk replacement in baking?
It worked really well for me. I tried it in a mug cake.
@@CookwithMel1 That's the kind of thing I was thinking about, thanks!
You're welcome 😊
What is the benefit of this keto milk over cows milk? It looks lovely.
Hi Bailey. Just the additives they add to cow's milk is a bit of negative, price depending on where you live and it lasts a month 😊
@@CookwithMel1
wouldn't this be much lower carbs than regular milk?
It's the carbs. It has almost zero carbs as opposed to real milk.
Yes Meg and Aunty Beckie. According to the Philly Cream Cheese nutrition it's definitely lower in carbs. Per 100g mine says its less than 1 carb 😊
I made it and have had it sitting in the fridge for a week. It has separated a lot over the week. Is that normal?
Hi...yes that's normal. Please shake the bottle and it's all sorted 👍
Were you originally from South Africa. Your accent sounds so familiar. But live from RSA anyway to you 😊
Hoe gaan dit Marie? 😊
Yes from Durban but emigrated in 2002. Unfortunately my accent is messed up these days. I did good for so many years 😊
When I go back home it returns instantly though.
@@CookwithMel1 Lekker, man , lekker!😘
Where are you from? I love your accent 🥰🥰
Thank you...Durban South Africa...but I've lived in New Zealand and Australia for 25 years so it's rather mixed.
@@CookwithMel1 oh interesting, I assume you came from some Slavic-speaking country (I'm terrible at identifying accents anyway lol)
I compared the nutrition facts, and the cream cheese wins, hands down. One cup (249 grams) of whole milk with 3.25% fat contains 88% water, 8.14 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of fat. 8 0z (1 block or 224g) of Philadelphia Cream Cheese contains 16g of protein, 8g carbohydrates, 0g added sugar, and 80g fat.
Oh wow...now that is interesting! I wonder how come mine says less than 1g carb per 100g. With the dilution factored in...that's how I get to zero carbs up to one cup. I'm a little disappointed Philly cream cheese macros are so different from country to country though.
You did an awesome experiment though...thank you for sharing.
Here in Ireland 224g of Original Philadelphia has 12.1g Protein, 9.6g Carbohydrate, and 47g Fat!
Why so many carbs there 😫
@@CookwithMel1 I looked at the USDA Food Database. Carbohydrate, by difference 0.992 g
This is why they can claim
It's still low for me because I can easily fit that into my day 😊
This looks so good. I’m so sad I can’t tolerate dairy 😭
Thank you so much. I believe you can get lactose free cream cheese
@@CookwithMel1 wow really? I’ve never seen that in my country. I’ll definitely look into it. Thank you!
I have a feeling I’ll have a reaction to it anyway though because cream cheese has so many ingredients. I can’t seem to tolerate anything that has multiple ingredients especially if it came from a factory.
Oh sorry about that...I also know you can make your own. Please check out this website he has quite a few lactose free recipes even sour cream: georgeats.com/recipes/lactose-free-cream-cheese-recipe/
@@CookwithMel1 oh my goodness, you are so kind. Thank you so much. I didn’t know you could make lactose free cheese at home. This is definitely something I would like to try. Thank you!
You're so welcome Mona. Oh for the little things to make life easier 😊
It's a pleasure!
this is so weird........ no ingredients ,,, wow i wanna try this,
Lmao I know right 🤣
I would love to know what you think of it once you've tasted it 😊
Mulk. 😊
Lmao...oh man I forgot to say meelk 🤣🤣🤣
Супер👍👍👍💖💖💖
Thanks so much ❤️
This is actually 2 ingredients, but we'll let it slide this time 😜
Haha Joey....nope water has never been counted as an ingredient though...what are these new rules I haven't heard about 😅😅😅
@@CookwithMel1, I was just messing with you 😘... But technically, unless you're using it as a cooking medium, it's an ingredient
I loved your comment. But most cooks don't count water as an ingredient because we don't have to buy it. I'm happy either way ☺️
Why doesn't it go bad? When I leave cream cheese in the fridge too long it gets moldy. Does the water prevent that somehow?
I believe so...Imagine how nervous I was to drink it at first and then the surprise 😊😊😊
I still would prefer heavy cream cuz I don't drink milk I think it's nasty but I prefer heavy cream if I do use anything not to drink put in recipes
Thanks quite alright Cheryl. It's great to explore alternatives for everyone though.
You can just use it as a replacement for heavy cream, you don't have to drink it
I'll keep buying cans of Evaporated Milk and add filtered water..😂
Nice Paul ❤️
😊🥛🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cream cheese has a low level of calcium, I think.😢
Why don't you blend a calcium supplement with it?
Cheese drink 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You said it first haha
@@CookwithMel1 It definitely is worth trying because cream cheese is delicious what's not to love!
That's what I thought too...thanks 😊😊😊
Unfortunate you feel people who are concerned about your health are a peanut gallery.
Not at all...just sharing an idea. If you're being nasty to a stranger who is sharing their knowledge with you for nothing in return do you think maybe it's time for therapy?
