If I am using it for baking then I just use plain yogurt. I simple heat the yogurt in a metal pot in a 250 degree oven for a couple hours. Let it cool and hang in cheese cloth overnight. This type is more similar to creamcheese and it great for syrniki. Another way I do it is to use whole milk and buttermilk. First heat 1 gal milk in a pot again 250 degree oven and then add half a gallon of butter milk. It depends on your milk when the curd starts to separate from the whey. I don't know where you live but surprisingly walmart has good quality milk for tvorig but Giant food stores did not. I have found that while raw milk does make a nicer tvorig, you can still have a decent one with pasteurized milk. My family has forgotten what actual cheesecake made with cream cheese tastes like.
