Time 45m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Line a large sieve with 2 layers of cheesecloth or paper towels and set it over a large bowl.
  • Bring the milk, cream and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a large nonreactive pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon juice and vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture curdles, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared sieve and let drain, discarding the liquid (whey) from the bowl as necessary, at least 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes for thicker cheese. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
