Imitation Velveeta Cheese
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 6 tablespoons whole milk powder
- 0.25 ounces gelatin unflavored 1 envelope
- 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded Do not use pre-shredded cheese, usually contains anti-caking agents that could affect the texture.
Instructions
- Line a small loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving some to hang over the edges. Set aside.
- To a blender, add boiling water, milk powder, and gelatin. Blend until all powders are dissolved. Working quickly and carefully, add the cheese and blend until well combined.
- Quickly transfer the mixture into the lined pan. Using the excess plastic wrap, fold over the cheese and gently press to completely cover the cheese.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set.
- Once set, remove from the pan. Store the block completely wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
You can freeze it for up to 1-2 months, but it may change the texture of the cheese.
Wanting to try alternative cheeses, such as: XXX,YYY. Maybe adding jalapeños, green chilies, garlic
I use smaller amount of cheese, so i often use either muffin tins or small (individual size) loaf pan. I then use snack size Zip-lock bags, which is I find is hard size to use, to store or freeze these smaller loafs.
