3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon margarine
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon margarine

Where to find ingredients
You can find whole milk and margarine in the dairy aisles of local supermarkets or smaller grocers. White vinegar is usually located in the condiment or baking section. Substitutes: If you prefer a richer flavor, you may replace margarine with butter, though the texture may vary slightly.
Preparation method
- Bring the milk to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Carefully remove about two fingers' worth of the boiled milk and set it aside in a glass.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the remaining milk in the saucepan and stir well.
- Allow the milk to curdle completely.
- Drain the whey from the curdled milk, keeping only the solid cheese mass.
- Transfer the cheese mass into a blender.
- Add the reserved milk, margarine, and salt to taste.
- Blend all the ingredients for a few minutes until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a container or a jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to firm up.
