More & more I am finding, that making my own dairy products is not simply easy, (cottage cheese, white chaddar cheese, butter, ricotta, sour cream) but tastes immeasurably better, & is much better for you.

This is a fantastic video. Short, sweet, & to the point. Thanks for sharing this!

Don’t knock it until you try it, but! I grew up with my grandma preparing us a bowl of applesauce with cottage cheese dollop on top. Cheese pairs really well with fruits.
I understand for some who have texture issues that this would be gross to them but I insist you must try it. So delicious!

Is heavy cream half and half or whipping cream???🤔 😍👋Thanks 👋

I'm def going to try this! I bought some cottage cheese not too long ago and didn't look at the label. OMG I wasn't sure what all I was eating! This looks clean and easy to make.

Great! Easy to understand and as simple as possible process! Love it! Thank you!

[emilyfu]

Wow! Who knew cottage cheese was so easy.

[ruthautumn]

That looks way better than what I buy from the store. Looks more like ricotta.

I just tried the pancakes. 10 out of 10. I didn’t think they would taste so good. But I will never make them another way again!!

Never thought of putting it on toast! I usually just eat it like that!

[janicemackie]

I make ice cream with cottage cheese! Delicious!

I love cottage cheese with pico de gallo.

Hi! did you turn off the stove once it reaches 120F and then let it rest for 30?

[TBHoffman]

Does half and half work ok as an alternative to the heavy cream?

[olafasekugoodpotential]

What temp was the milk heated to? I couldn't quite see the thermometer reading

[StarDustMoonRocket]

Instead of cream, stir in sour cream at the end. It also works to rescue bland store brands.

After you squeeze le curds in the cheese cloth, can anything be done with the excess liquid?

[russellaakl]

Is it necessary to add heavy cream at the end?

[Aiast]

Can you drink/use the rest of the water or you throw it?

[saipradeep]

Can I use fresh cream instead of heavy cream?
