Ingredients

  • ½ gallon whole-milk buttermilk

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a colander with cheese cloth and place over a large pot in the sink.

  2. Gently mix buttermilk and cream together in a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish.

  3. Cook in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

  4. 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.
