Introduction
This homemade creamy sliced cheese is soft, smooth, and perfectly sliceable—similar to mozzarella or processed cheese, but richer and more natural. It’s a simple recipe that delivers a delicious, preservative-free result ideal for sandwiches, toast, or melting.
Ingredients
1 liter whole milk
200g cornstarch (corn flour)
200g salted butter
200g mozzarella cheese (grated or chopped)
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the milk and cornstarch. Blend until completely smooth with no lumps.
Pour the mixture into a non-stick saucepan and add butter and salt.
Place over medium heat and stir continuously.
Once the butter melts, add the mozzarella cheese.
Keep stirring vigorously as the mixture thickens and becomes elastic.
Cook for 10–15 minutes until it forms a thick, dough-like texture and pulls away from the sides.
Remove from heat immediately.
How to Make
Lightly grease a plastic or silicone mold with butter or oil.
Pour the hot cheese mixture into the mold and smooth the surface.
Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Cover and refrigerate for 4–6 hours (or overnight) until firm.
Remove from the mold and slice into thin pieces.
Variations
Add oregano, parsley, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Use smoked cheese instead of mozzarella for a deeper taste.
Swap butter with margarine and use low-fat milk for a lighter version.
Mix in garlic powder or onion powder for a savory twist.
Tips
Stir constantly once cooking starts to prevent burning.
Use full-fat milk for the best creamy texture.
A silicone mold makes removal easier and keeps the shape perfect.
Let it chill completely before slicing for clean cuts.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
