Just made this. I was a little sceptical after rinsing but added cream and the mixture was transformed. Used skim milk / white vinegar to make.
I added a little more salt to taste and am enjoying the creamy delicious taste.
Thanks for an amazing recipe. So much better than store bought and way cheaper too!

Made today - wish I'd known before how simple and fabulous this recipe is! There's been a shortage of cottage cheese here in Nsw and I no longer have to miss out. Did I mention how much cheaper it is to make? One happy lady here.

Hi just wondering if you
Hi just wondering if you found this was more like ricotta or just like cottage cheese? I made a batch today but used full cream milk. Maybe I should try the skim and apple cider vinegar ?
I made this and whilst it's
I made this and whilst it's lovely it turned out more like ricotta. What am I doing wrong?
I used light long life milk
I used light long life milk and it turned out great! I do like mine a bit saltier, so will try adding more salt next time. Made 280g cottage cheese, which was a perfect amount for a recipe I was making.
A great way to use milk

Can this be made using full cream milk?
I think I got too much liquid
I think I got too much liquid out of mine, it was a bit dry & tasteless, so I think I rinsed it too much too. I also used full cream milk, not sure if that was the difference. Will give it another try not rinsing much if at all & not squeezing the whey out much.

Amazing!!! If like me you are
Amazing!!! If like me you are trying to eat more protein then cottage cheese is definitely for you. I made it the other day using traditional method which took me two days! I was amazed that I could make it in TM in such short time! The quality is amazing too. I used skimmed milk and cider vinegar as that was all I had to hand and it came out lovely and moist. What's more I managed to get 370g of cottage cheese out of two litres of milk! Superb!!!
I tries this tonight - so
I tries this tonight - so easy!! It only makes a tiny bit though... Could you use full cream milk to increase the end result? I added some cream and it was delicious. NEVER BUYING COTTAGE CHEESE AGAIN!!

If you were to just use half a litre, would you still heat it for the same amount of time? Thanks

It worked perfectly. This is
It worked perfectly. This is my first attempt at making cheese using TMX and I am absolutely delighted, it couldn't be easier. I used lite milk as I didn't have any skim and I didn't encounter any problems. Thank you for this great recipe!
