Cream Cheese with Eggs for Dessert

In many cultures cream cheese is well known and it is a product that is easy to make yourself. Milk is heated together with a sour ingredient such as sour milk, lemon, or vinegar, and then left for a few hours to allow the excess liquid, the whey, to drain off. In Bohuslän (Swedish West Coast), eggs have been added as an additional ingredient, giving it the name äggost (egg cheese). It is traditionally served at parties and annual gatherings and has been documented since the 16th century.
