Total Time 100 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 gallon ( 4 liters) whole milk
? cup (80 gr) greek yogurt (optional)
? cup (160 ml) white vinegar
salt

Steps:

  • Heat milk in a large pot over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it registers between 178°F to 190°F (80°C to 90°C) on the thermometer. (see notes)
  • Turn of the heat and then add the yogurt. Stir for 10-15 seconds and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Add half the vinegar and mix again for 10 seconds. Then let it sit for another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the other half of vinegar and mix slowly for one minute.
  • You will notice how the milk has become a curd and has started to separate from the whey. Set aside until it reaches room temperature (about 1 hour).
  • Line the colander with 2 layers of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and set it over a large bowl.
  • Transfer curds to the prepared colander, cover, and allow to drain for about 20 minutes.
  • When most of the whey has drained off, lift the edges of the cheesecloth up and twist, wrapping the cheese into a ball; then carefully squeeze off excess whey.
  • Place the cheese on a container and add salt to taste. Mix well with a wood spoon (don't over mix!).
  • Use molds to give it a shape or make it rounded with your hands. You can also use a bowl and place it there.
  • Place Queso Freso in the refrigerator and let it sit for a couple of hours before consuming it.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY QUESO FRESCO "DIP" RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Ridiculously Easy Queso Fresco

On a recent trip to the local Costco®, I ended up purchasing a huge thing of queso fresco, or Mexican white cheese. Not sure what to do with it, I created this modified dip that goes perfectly with any Mexican-themed meal! It's so ridiculously easy, and looks much more refined than classic chile con queso. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy! Reheat as needed.
