Making Cottage Cheese At Home (But BETTER)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.

Remove from heat and stir in white vinegar until curds form.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow curds to separate from whey.

Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into it.

Rinse curds under cold water to remove excess whey and vinegar taste.

Gather cheesecloth and squeeze gently to remove more whey.

Transfer curds to a bowl and mix in salt and cream to taste.

Add buttermilk for tanginess, if desired.
