Cottage Cheese


Description

Did the supermarket run out of cottage cheese? No worries! You can whip up your own with just three ingredients. It’s super easy, budget-friendly, and tastes even better than store-bought. Perfect for toast, salads, or a creamy dip! Let’s do this!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2L milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it until it’s just about to boil—look for tiny bubbles around the edges and a bit of steam. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and lemon juice. Give it a quick stir (just 2–3 seconds) and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. You’ll see the magic happen as curds form!
  2. Line a strainer with a Chux or clean cloth and gently pour in the mixture. Let it strain for at least 1 hour, or pop it in the fridge overnight for extra firmness.
  3. Use it as is, or blend for 30–60 seconds if you want a smooth texture. That’s it! Fresh, homemade cottage cheese in no time. Enjoy! 😍
