Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups low-fat buttermilk
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and place over medium heat.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture smells "cheesy" and visibly separates (you'll be able to see a clearish liquid around a mass of white).
  • Line a fine mesh strainer with at least 4 layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl (if your stainer is big enough you can use the sink).
  • Carefully pour the contents of the pot into the strainer, allowing the liquid to drain out.
  • Allow cheese to sit in the cheesecloth-lined strainer for 30 minutes, then bring up the ends of the cloth and loosely tie it around a spoon set over a bowl (or the sink faucet, if you won't be using it - which is what I did).
  • Let drain another 10-15 minutes, depending on your texture preference.
  • Keep in the fridge up to 1 week.
