You don’t need fancy tools or ingredients to enjoy fresh, homemade cheese. With just 2 simple ingredients, you can make a soft, creamy cheese right in your kitchen—in only 10 minutes. Perfect for spreading, slicing, or adding to salads and snacks!
🧂 Ingredients:
- 1 liter (4 cups) milk (whole milk works best)
- 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
- A pinch of salt (optional)
🔪 Instructions:
- Heat the Milk:
Pour the milk into a pot and heat it gently over medium heat until it just starts to boil (don’t let it overflow). - Add the Acid:
As soon as the milk boils, reduce heat to low and add the lemon juice or vinegar, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently.
You’ll see the milk curdle and separate into curds and whey. - Strain the Cheese:
Turn off the heat. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes.
Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or clean towel over a bowl to catch the whey.
Rinse with cold water to remove the sour taste and cool it quickly. - Drain and Shape:
Gather the cloth and gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
You can press it under a weight for a firmer texture or keep it soft for spreading.
