Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and resembles scrambled eggs (about 20-30 minutes).

Once the mixture reaches 190°F, turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Drain the mixture through cheesecloth to remove excess liquid.

Wrap the drained mixture in cheesecloth and hang it for 3 hours to further remove moisture.

Refrigerate the cheese after hanging.
