Cottage Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cottage Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

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

  2. 2

    Add Vinegar

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the white vinegar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until curds and whey separate.

  3. 3

    Strain the Curds

    Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into it. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove excess vinegar.

  4. 4

    Season the Curds

    Transfer the curds to a bowl and mix in the salt and heavy cream until well combined.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover and refrigerate the cottage cheese for at least 1 hour before serving.
