Homemade Cheese with Just 3 Ingredients! 🧀✨


1. Heat the Milk

  1. Pour milk into a pot and heat on medium-low until just simmering (~85°C/185°F). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

2. Add Yogurt & Lemon

  1. Remove from heat. Whisk in yogurt, then slowly add lemon juice.

  2. Stir gently—curds (cheese) will separate from whey (liquid) in 5-10 mins.

3. Strain the Cheese

  1. Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour in the mixture.

  2. Let drain for 30 mins (less for softer cheese, longer for firmer).

4. Season & Enjoy!

  • Transfer cheese to a bowl, mix in salt or other flavorings, and refrigerate.


Pro Tips for Perfect Cheese 🔥

✔ Use full-fat milk – Skim milk won’t yield much cheese.
✔ Save the whey – Use it in bread, smoothies, or soups!
✔ No yogurt? Substitute with 2 extra tbsp lemon juice or vinegar.
✔ Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 5 days in an airtight container.


Serving Suggestions 🍽️

✨ On toast with honey – Sweet & tangy breakfast.
