Home Made Velveeta ® Recipe
There seems to be a Velveeta® shortage in the Eastern United States. Now I am not sure how that can be since this stuff can last on a shelf longer than anything I know. Maybe that is because it contains the following: Milk, water, milkfat, whey, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate; contains less than 2% of: salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid as a preservative, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, enzymes, apocarotenal (color), annatto (color), and cheese culture. Do y’all know what those things all are? Me either.
So here is your way of making your own home made Velveeta®. Besides being as easy as can be, it is filled with only 4 ingredients. All of which you will know. So give it a try and I bet you’ll never buy that yellow box again.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 6 Tablespoons of milk powder
- 1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 lb swiss cheese, grated
- 1.5 tsp gelatin
Instructions
Prepare a "loaf box" by lining a small box with plastic wrap (try cutting the bottom off a cereal box to make a loaf size container)
Combine boiling water, milk powder and gelatin in the blender
Blend 15 seconds
Add the shredded cheese and blend until smooth (about 3-5 minutes)
Pour into your "loaf box"
Cover and refrigerate overnight before slicing
