1
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, yogurt, and salt. Stir well until the salt is fully dissolved.
2
Whisk Mixture
Using a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly frothy.
3
Fermentation Process
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours. This process allows the mixture to ferment and thicken.
4
Strain the Mixture
After 24 hours, place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the fermented mixture into the strainer. Let it drain for about 1-2 hours to achieve a thicker consistency.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs. Add them to the strained kajmak along with black pepper. Mix well to incorporate.
6
Store the Kajmak
Transfer the kajmak to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 1 week.
