Yeah, that's exactly the way it works. My husband, Phillip, is our
resident STC expert. He uses a mixture of brie and cream cheese with
butter and white pepper. He's taught numerous people how to make
it...and has bailed out numerous others who start the stuff cooking,
only to get to a point of a really nasty looking mess. He reassures
them that it just needs to go a bit longer. At some point, "magic"
happens, and it becomes the emulsion we all know and love.
