If you want to learn how to make homemade cheese with your own hands, which is cheaper and tastier than store-bought cheese, then try one of the following simple recipes.
Making cheese at home is easy enough. It won't take up a lot of your time. In return, you will receive a really tasty and healthy product that will always be available without worrying about modern cheese prices and the store's assortment.
Hard homemade cheese
Bring milk to a boil and add cottage cheese, grated in a blender. Stir the mixture until the whey comes out. Strain the cheese base through a sieve with cheesecloth so that all the liquid is glass. Grind the egg and butter with a mixture, placing the cheese in a water bath. To prevent the mixture from sticking to the walls while stirring, you can add a little more butter. The resulting dough must be kneaded with your hands on a cutting board so that the homemade cheese is as homogeneous as possible. Then form the most convenient shape for you (sausage, circle) and wrap with cling film or foil.
Homemade cheese
Mix milk and salt and bring to a boil. Beat eggs with sour cream and gently pour the mixture into boiling milk. Stir the liquid over the fire for 3 minutes until flakes form. Strain the cheese through a sieve with cheesecloth, squeeze well and place under the load in the refrigerator for the whole night.
Homemade sour cream mascarpone
Take a saucepan and place a colander with a thick layer of cheesecloth on it. Put the chilled sour cream in a colander and tie the cheesecloth tightly so that the mass is compacted. Place a load weighing up to 4 kg on top and send this entire structure to the refrigerator for 3 days. The leftover whey in the pot can be used for pie or pancakes. And the resulting homemade mascarpone can be added not only to desserts, but also spread on toast instead of butter.
