Categories     condiment

Time 10m

Yield 1/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Spread the Cheddar in a thin, even layer on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the cheese has melted into a firm disc and the fat has rendered out, about 2 minutes.
  • Allow the cheese disc to cool slightly, then peel from the parchment and place on a paper towel to cool completely. It will crisp as it cools.
  • Once the cheese disc is completely cooled, break it into pieces. Pulse it in a food processor until finely and evenly ground, about 45 seconds. Add the cornstarch and pulse again just to incorporate.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Use to flavor popcorn, vegetables, noodles or anything else you would add cheese to!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cheddar cheese. The better the cheddar cheese you use, the better the powdered cheddar cheese will be. Look for a sharp cheddar cheese that is aged for at least 6 months.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese finely. This will help the cheese powder to dissolve more easily.
  • Use a food processor or blender to grind the cheese powder into a fine powder. This will help to ensure that the cheese powder is evenly blended and free of lumps.
  • Store the cheese powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to keep the cheese powder fresh and prevent it from clumping.
  • Use the cheese powder to add a cheesy flavor to your favorite dishes. It can be used in soups, sauces, dips, casseroles, and more.

Conclusion:

Making powdered cheddar cheese at home is a great way to save money and get a delicious, cheesy flavor in your favorite dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own powdered cheddar cheese that is just as good as, if not better than, store-bought brands.
