Homemade Cheese with Just 3 Ingredients! (Page 2 ) | June 14, 2025
1. Heat the Milk
- Pour milk into a pot and heat on medium-low until just simmering (~85°C/185°F). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
2. Add Yogurt & Lemon
- Remove from heat. Whisk in yogurt, then slowly add lemon juice.
- Stir gently—curds (cheese) will separate from whey (liquid) in 5-10 mins.
3. Strain the Cheese
- Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour in the mixture.
- Let drain for 30 mins (less for softer cheese, longer for firmer).
4. Season & Enjoy!
- Transfer cheese to a bowl, mix in salt or other flavorings, and refrigerate.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cheese
✔ Use full-fat milk – Skim milk won’t yield much cheese.
✔ Save the whey – Use it in bread, smoothies, or soups!
✔ No yogurt? Substitute with 2 extra tbsp lemon juice or vinegar.
✔ Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 5 days in an airtight container.
Serving Suggestions
✨ On toast with honey – Sweet & tangy breakfast.
