Preparation
- Pour the whole milk into a large saucepan and gently heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
- Once the milk reaches steaming point, remove it from the heat. Slowly stir in the white vinegar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until curds start to form.
- Carefully pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the curds to drain without pressing them down, letting the whey separate naturally for about 5 minutes.
- Under cold running water, gently rinse your curds to wash away excess whey and vinegar, which will help improve flavor and texture.
- Transfer the curds back into a bowl and add the heavy cream and salt. Gently fold everything together until it's well combined and creamy.
- Refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld together, then serve it chilled and enjoy.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat milk. Timing during curd separation is crucial for texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
