Yield 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder
12 ounces colby cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon whole powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Line 5-by 4-inch disposable aluminum loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing excess to hang over sides.
