🥗Healthier: natural cheese

💰Cheaper: store-brand cheese

Natural cheese is less processed and has fewer additives.

1

Gently warm the milk in a pot over low heat, stirring consistently, until it's lukewarm.

2

Turn off the heat and gradually add vinegar or lemon juice while stirring, until the milk curdles and separates into solids and whey.

3

Strain the curdled milk to remove excess whey, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.

4

Mix citric acid and water in a bowl, then add baking soda to create a clear sodium citrate solution.

5

Blend the strained cheese, sodium citrate solution, butter, milk, and salt in a blender until smooth.

6

Transfer the cheese mixture to a heatproof bowl and double boil it for 5 to 8 minutes.

7

Grease a plastic mold with butter.

8

Pour the blended mixture into the greased mold and let it cool at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator for about 5 to 6 hours to set.
