Homemade Copy-Cat Velveeta

     Who knew - you can make your own version "Velveeta" at home! Guess what - it tastes better too!  Guest blogger JD Provence whipped up a batch to test things out.  This is what he's come up with - give it a try!  Enjoy! Diane 


Homemade Copy-Cat Velveeta

Ingredients
1 cup boiling water
1 pkt unflavored gelatin (1/4 oz)
6 Tablespoons dried milk powder
cheddar cheese, shredded (16oz) 
​
Directions

• Mix the unflavored gelatin and dried milk powder together before adding into boiling water in blender (or food processor) and puree until mixed.
• Add in shredded cheese a few handfuls at a time and continue to blend until smooth. Open and scrape down the sides with a spatula a few times. Process approx 5 minutes to completely emulsify.
• Pour/scoop mixture into a small loaf pan or a mold lined with plastic wrap.
• Cover/wrap tightly and refrigerate for 8 hours.

 

• Kitchen Notes: I tasted this when it was in liquid form and it tasted salty, but once set, the saltiness went away.

   Thank you to JD Provence for testing out this recipe and sharing his photos and thoughts on the final result.
