A grrreat DIY recipe. It taste creamy and smooth when a little cream is added, and with fruit, is a picker-upper. Thank you Allrecipes!
This was too easy, similar to Ricotta Cheese except you use vinegar instead of lemon juice. Delicious way to use up milk!
I love making cheese. I have used the 2-1/2% gallon of milk heating it to 120 deg F. Adding the 3/4 cup vinegar and stir for 2 minutes. Instead of vinegar, it is fun to use lemon. Flavor with 1/2 c cream and salt or I have used yogurt and spices to put on bread or crackers. The whey is good in a fruit smoothie or veg soup.
Was doing too many things at once when I tried this and it still came out great. Used almost-ready-to-expire whole pasteurized but non homogenized local milk. Heated to 178, added white wine vinegar, let it stand an hour or two. Strained into cheesecloth lined colander, dash of salt – I love it! I eat cottage cheese basically every day for breakfast – with blueberries, or jam, or whatever. Have been feeling so guilty re all those plastic cartons – no more!
Other than making a whole gallon instead of a cup, I made no changes. It’s excellent cheese. And it’s also good in a lasagna as a substitute for store-bought ricotta.
This is perfect for a low-sodium diet. Next time I’m going to try rice vinegar for a milder flavor.
Looks different than store bought. Kids love it tastes great
Taste is great curds are very small makes only 12 of cottage cheese is more like ricotta cheese thanx for recipe many uses and will come in handy in a pinch and the whey can be used in recipes or over top of dog food for a great
This recipe did not make sense. The milk should only be warmed to 120F then taken off the heat and vinegar stirred in. Curds will form instantly. Also, the nutrition data is wrong. It is the data for the cup of milk, not the resulting cheese that does not convert all the protein in the milk to cheese. Other data is likewise wrong. I just made a big pot with 1/2 gal of milk and 1/2C of vinegar with corrected instructions.
Easy & Tasty. Try adding chopped CHIVES to the curd. Cottage cheese {packed} tomato & cucumber on toast! ymmy
We make this, as we refer to it is “Farm cheese”‘, on our ranch using our cows milk. It’s wonderful. For the people having problems getting it to curd, the OP should have stated to use WHOLE MILK. You need the fat to help it curd. When I make this using store bought milk, rather than from our cows, I find the cheapest whole fat milk they have works the best. I’ve also found having the milk at room temp helps as well.
All that happened here was I wasted a cup of milk. This was my first attempt at homemade cheese and now I’m rather leery to try any others.
This was very simple and the result was excellent. I will definitely make it again. Although, I am going to make more than just one serving. I was glad to start off making only one serving to see how it would work, but I will definitely make more of it next time. Thank you!
This didn’t work for me at all. I made 6 servings but only ended up with 1 serving when it was all said and done. It barely made curd. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or what the problem was? One thing I will say is to bring the milk to a boil SLOWLY. It will scorch if you try to bring it to a boil like you would a pot of water. I would like to try this again to see if I can make it right but it’s not worth the risk of wasting more milk. Sorry.
Made it using five cups of milk. Wanted more than one serving. Easy and tastes better than store bought.
