Cottage Cheese Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

    In a large pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches 190°F (88°C), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

  2. 2

    Add Vinegar

    Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in the white vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the curds form.

  3. 3

    Strain the Curds

    Line a colander with cheesecloth and carefully pour the curdled milk mixture into it to strain out the whey. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove the vinegar taste.

  4. 4

    Season and Mix

    Transfer the curds to a bowl, add salt to taste, and mix in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the cottage cheese and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Enjoy it plain, or with fruits and nuts.
