EASY Cheddar Cheese Curds Recipe, Plus, Turn your Whey into Caramel Sauce!

Scrape some cream off the top of the milk to avoid overflow in the pot.

Heat the milk in a large pot on low until it reaches 90°F.

If using pasteurized milk, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon calcium chloride in 1/4 cup water and add it to the milk before heating.

Add 1/2 teaspoon rennet to the milk and stir for one minute to combine.

Let the milk sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes until a clean break is achieved.

Cut the curds into 1-inch cubes and let them heal for 5 minutes.

Turn the burner on low and start stirring the curds gently.
