Ingredients
-
½ gallon whole-milk buttermilk
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a colander with cheese cloth and place over a large pot in the sink.
-
Gently mix buttermilk and cream together in a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish.
-
Cook in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
-
Pour buttermilk mixture into the prepared colander; drain for 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer drained cheese to a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Store in the refrigerator.
Cook’s Note
This can be made using a yogurt maker but would be an overnight procedure. This is a quicker way that yields pretty much the same product.
Do not use low-fat buttermilk. It will not work well.
Add some freshly cut chives, a couple cloves of minced garlic, onions, salt, and pepper for taste and you have a basic krauter (herbal) quark, great to spread on your favorite bread or roll.
For cheesecake, let it drain a little longer.
