Copy Cat Recipe: Homemade Velveeta Cheese

This copycat recipe for Velveeta Cheese is easy to make and tastes awesome! You can use it in all the same recipes you use the store bought cheese, it works just perfectly! Just whip out your blender (I actually used my Magic Bullet to make this), add a few simple ingredients and you’re ready to go!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 6 tablespoons milk powder
  • 1 pound cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare a "loaf box" by lining a small box with plastic wrap
  2. Combine ½ cup boiling water, 3 tablespoons of milk powder and ¾ teaspoon of gelatin in the blender
  3. Blend 5 seconds
  4. Add ½ of the shredded cheese and blend until smooth (about 3 minutes)
  5. Pour into your "loaf box"
  6. Repeat with remaining ingredients and pour on top of first layer
  7. Cover and refrigerate overnight before slicing

Notes

  • Use a sharp cheddar for more flavor.
  • Ensure you use unflavored gelatin, it can be found online or with the Jell-o products.
  • Line the pan with plastic wrap or wet a piece of parchment paper and line the pan.
  • You can use a small muffin pan as well, I find a box of crackers to be about the right size. Cut the box to about 4" high and line it.
  • Allow the mixture to cool completely before cutting.
  • Do not use the prepared Velveeta in the slow cooker, it does not hold up well to the longer cooking times.
