Salt to taste
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon margarine

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh whole milk and white vinegar in the dairy and pantry aisles of your local supermarkets or community grocers. If high-quality butter is available, it can be used as a premium substitute for margarine.
Preparation method
- Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Carefully remove about two finger-widths worth of the hot milk and set it aside in a cup.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of white vinegar to the remaining milk in the saucepan and stir well.
- Allow the mixture to sit until the milk has fully curdled.
- Drain the whey, keeping only the solid cheese curds.
- Transfer the cheese curds into a blender.
- Add the reserved milk, the margarine, and the salt.
- Blend all the ingredients on high for several minutes until you achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy consistency.
- Transfer the mixture into a jar or airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving so the cheese can set properly.
