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.
