Before that I have to tell you one thing. I couldn’t find cream cheese in the place where I live. So I made my own cream cheese using yogurt which came out perfect.You could use that cream cheese in every recipe which calls for it. It tasted great and very cheap to make it at home. My next post is going to be the 300th post. So I have a special recipe for that. So wait for it.So here you go.

Cream cheese is not hung yogurt. Hung yogurt is a substitute for sour cream. Cream cheese making is different.
Aarthi
@AnonymousYes both are diff. But in my place i dont find cream cheese so i use hung curd and works like a charm

Hello madam, I made this frosting yesterday but it doesn't get creamy instead it became curdled, can I know why?
Aarthi
@rashida tambawalaThere may be two reason, one the water is not completely drained from the mixture. it has to the completely drained and very thick. And another is you haven't added enough sugar to it, add more sugar and blend till creamy
