- Lynn demonstrates how to make Homemade Velveeta Cheese. You can use this in any recipe that calls for the store bought variety. Very handy and much healthier. From browneyedbaker.com.
¼ ounce packet unflavored gelatin
6 Tablespoons dry milk powder
1 cup boiling water
16 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded
Line a small loaf pan with plastic wrap, covering all sides and leaving excess to hang over sides.
Place the unflavored gelatin and dry milk powder in a blender or food processor. Pour the boiling water over the top and immediately pulse to combine. Add the cheddar cheese and puree the mixture until smooth.
Immediately pour and scrape the cheese mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it into an even layer with a spatula. Fold the excess plastic wrap over the cheese, pressing it against the surface of the cheese, ensuring that it is completely covered. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours, until set. The cheese will keep in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 1 month.

Okay, this is great to know, but one question that I can't find an answer to it this. How does it taste? Well, I'll tell you. It doesn't taste like Velveeta. It tastes like powdered milk. And I have tried experimenting with flavor enhancers three times. I've tried salt, paprika, and even a little lemon. It ended up tasting even less like Velveeta. So it looks right, and melts right, and is better for you, but don't expect it to taste like Velveeta. It won't.
that IS what i wanted to know
Didn't the commercial call it a mix of Colby cheddar and Swiss....?
Thanks for sacrificing your stomach for the rest of us!
Love that blender !

Lynn, I love your recipe for Homemade Velveeta Cheese. That is great for everyone who can't find Velveeta at their grocery store--also for those who want to control the ingredients in their foods! Have a terrific day! Love, --Betty :)
Betty's Kitchen Thank you, Betty! I am so glad that you like the recipe. I hope that you are having a great week. Love, Lynn
Velveeta is just too salty for me. This recipe sounds perfect! Can I use it to make sauce for shells and cheese? Do I have to put it in the refrigerator for that? I like sharper cheese for the cheese sauce.
@@nancyking I have used this recipe and variations for years. Yes use it anywhere you would regular velveeta. My guys eat it plain... its that good. Also you really do need to refridgerate it. I have used sharp and it works. :)
How long can you store it in the fridge if not used right away.
Awesome!

Great recipe and demo, Lynn! Thank you for this. I really don't like to use Velveeta, but I have a couple of recipes for dips and mac and cheese that call for it that my family really enjoys. I would much rather make it homemade. Thank you again!
Lisa Elle Thank you! I am so happy that you like it and it is a recipe you can use. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great afternoon. ~Lynn
Thanks very much from the UK👍🏻
You're welcome!
Lynn, this is a great video. I love making homemade things because you control what you want, like you said.
Here i can´t find velveta cheese, so it´s a great method for making it.
Have a fantastic day,
Love,
Patricia.
Patricia G.G. Thanks, Patricia! I am so glad that you like the recipe. I was wondering if you could get Velveeta in Spain. I know it is hard to find in other places, so I am happy this will be of help to you. I appreciate you watching. Have a wonderful day. Love, Lynn

Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill Thanks, Ray! So happy that you like the recipe. Have a great day. ~Lynn
Yay! I love the idea of making my own Velveeta. The first thing I would make is macaroni and cheese. :-)
Dionne Baldwin I am so glad that you like the recipe, Dionne! Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
I have never tried Velveeta. I live in Europe and I can't buy this here. I saw a Crockpot recipe which requires Velveeta so I am happy that I found your recipe. So I can make my own Velveeta with my Vitamix (yes I have this expensive american blender which I love). Greets to you!
So happy you can make your recipe. Isn't the Vitamix great? I love mine. I hope you enjoy the cheese.
Thank you for the recipe from spain

Lynn great recipe!!! Linda sent me... Love it!!!
Val Moody Thank you, Val! I really appreciate you subscribing. I will thank Linda! So glad you like the recipe. ~Lynn
This is wonderful, Lynn. I haven't purchased Velvetta for over ten years. Sometimes it is exactly what is needed in a recipe. Thank you so much! I know I am going to enjoy your video. Blessings, prayers, and peace...........MaryEllen
Sensational After 60 Thank you! I am so glad that you like the recipe. I hope it is one that you can use. I appreciate you watching. Have a great day. ~Lynn
I am so happy Lisa Barnes mentioned you, because I wouldn't have found you. You are my first cooking channel I have subscribed to. The world of YT is amazing. Blessings.....MaryEllen
I am so glad that you have found me. I really appreciate you watching. Yes, you can find so much on You Tube. Thanks again, Lynn
Excellent video/idea. Was sent here from Lynda's Pantry. Am now subscribed to both you wonderful ladies' RUclips channels.
Greetings from Montreal!
LyLy
LyLy MoWa Thank you! I really appreciate you subscribing. I appreciate Linda sending you over my way. Have a great day. ~Lynn
Hi Lynn, Just stopping bye. This really caught my eye. I never knew this could be done. The demonstration was amazing. I will give you a shout out when I try it on my channel. Lol
chriscook4u2 Hi, Chris! So glad you enjoyed the video. I can't wait to see your demonstration. Hope you are doing well. Have a wonderful weekend. ~Lynn
Love doing this... what some call semi homemade. YUM I have used white cheddar and colby too. So many good choices. Im wondering about gouda. Add some salsa and a bit more milk and water for a rich nacho cheese. Nice video. Thanks for sharing ;) Namaste.
So happy you are enjoying the recipe.
That's a great idea! We don't get velveeta cheese in the UK least now we can make our own :)
TheHibbertClan Thank you! So glad that this is a video that you can use. Thanks for watching. I hope you are having a wonderful week! ~Lynn
Lynn videos are always great. The recipes she selects are never complicated and always look tasty. She also has a very warm personality that you can see in her videos.
What sort of effort goes into making these videos? What software/ hardware do you use for filming and editing? How much planning and prep is involved? Do you get help? I've been subscribing to your channel for a long time and would love to know.
Harpfrmhel Thank you for your very nice comments. My husband helps me with most of the videos. I have started doing a few on my own when he isn't available to film, but he always does the editing and uploads to You Tube, then I add the recipe after he has edited the film and do the editing on You Tube to get it ready to post the actual video. He also takes care of my website. A lot of time is spent in picking out the recipe, typing it for the website and under the video, and then we have to add what we need to our shopping list and get the ingredients and prepare everything for the actual filming of the video. It does take some time, but we enjoy doing it. I will have to check with him about the software he uses and get back to you about that. It is only the two of us making the videos. Thanks for asking. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ~Lynn
I saw Linda's Pantry with her showing your recipe so I will be a new follower. This looks wonderful. Will try it. I have a Vita Mix & don't use it near enough.
Vida Reich Thank you, Vida! So happy you found my channel. I am glad you like the recipe. I love my Vitamix and use it a lot. It is great for smoothies. I appreciate you subscribing and watching. ~Lynn
Hello Lynn, Thank you so much for your video! This Velveeta cheese recipe looks amazing. Could you use sharp cheddar to give it an extra kick? What do you think?
You're welcome! I think the sharp would work fine. Another subscriber used a pepper jack cheese and said it was great. Thanks for watching.
So happy to have found this! Can I assume that this must be kept refrigerated? Thanks for posting!
Yes, it needs to be kept in the refrigerator. Glad you like the recipe.
OMG I am doing this for my viewers I think this is fantastic! Thank you watch for a big shout out:)
Linda's Pantry Thank you, Linda! I am so happy you like the recipe and hope your viewers enjoy it, as well. You are very sweet to give me a shout out. I really appreciate it. Have a great evening. ~Lynn
Great idea and recipe, thanks for sharing.
ataylorai1 You're welcome! So happy you like the video. I appreciate you watching. Have a great weekend. ~Lynn
Thanks for sharing! :)
Darcy Peterson You're welcome! I appreciate you watching. Have a great day. ~Lynn
Wow! Seriously?? That is so cool! So many recipes ask for velveeta, but it's ridiculously expensive here. I have no issue paying lots for good food, but not for store bought velveeta. This is just brilliant. I can use my Vitamix again, and I'll make some for my mother in law.
+Julia Dickson I hope she enjoys it. A lot of people just don't like all of the ingredients in Velveeta. Some people use pepper jack cheese and other cheeses to change up the flavor. So happy you like the recipe. I hope you have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
YUM!!!!
Katherine Urbahn-Hall ;-) Thanks for watching.
Hi Lynn, great cheese recipe, wow like your recipes any more... wow
best wishes from Germany...Tom

ChaosKitchen51 Thanks so much, Tom! I am so happy you like the recipe. I appreciate your support. I hope that you are having a wonderful week. ~Lynn
Hi ! I wonder if there is a sub for the powdered milk part of this recipe ? I have lactose intolerant family members, would LOVE to give them a "safe" velveeta. Thanks so much !!
I really don't know the answer to that, but I did find this article that has some information that might help. tastessence.com/powdered-milk-substitute I hope this will help.
Hi Lynn, Can you cold smoke this cheese in a Traeger Grill to add smoky flavor to it?
I haven't ever done that before, but I am not sure why it wouldn't work. Sounds delicious!
Hi Lynn..I want to try this recipe. I use Morning Moo's for my powdered milk by Augason Farms. Can this be used as the powdered milk?
I am not familiar with that brand, but if it is powdered milk, it should work. I can't really say definitely yes, since I am not sure about that product.
yummy i love cheese :D
dady2439 Thanks for watching. I am glad that you like the recipe. Have a great day. ~Lynn
This is so cool, and a great way to use leftover cheese from the deli or cheese ends you can get on the cheap from the deli, I will definitely be trying this out as there is a recipe I want to make that requires Velveeta but I do not want all that chemical nonsense and ridiculously high polyunsaturated fat content that goes with it. Thanks a ton for this.
+IcedEarthaholic I hope you enjoy it!
+lynnsrecipes I will let you know how it turns out. :)
;-)
Do you think this will work using nutritional yeast instead of the shredded cheese?
rmcandlelight I am sorry, but I have not idea. I don't know what nutritional yeast is and have never used. I would say if you think it might work, give it a try. I wish I could be of more help. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
How long will it last in the fridge? Can't wait to try it
Brenda Noland In the refrigerator, it should keep for a month. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. ~Lynn
This is very interesting. It doesn't need any salting?
Harpfrmhel No, just the ingredients that are listed.
Very interesting does it tastes as good I wonder?
Dan Webster It is very good and a great substitute for the store bought kind if you are trying to control your ingredients. Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
It tastes like powdered milk. It doesn't taste like Velveeta.
Great video! May I ask where you got your cheese cutter?
+Jamie T Thank you! I have had that for years. I can't remember where I got it, but I think a little local kitchen supply store. I have seen them other places since I purchased it and if you google marble cheese boards with slicer, you may be able to find one online. Here is one from Crate and Barrel - www.crateandbarrel.com/french-kitchen-marble-cheese-board-with-slicer/s327697?b=1&a=1552&campaignid=206595536&adgroupid=13838805416&targetid=pla-75563052896&adpos=1o1&creative=44897458976&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAjwxce4BRDE2dG4ueLArHMSJADStCqMhu877JEidQ66CoDgrOG8gLdA_jnEgTEsp7agDwgIKxoCikzw_wcB.
+lynnsrecipes Thank you so much!!.
You're welcome!
I can not shred that much cheese. To you think I could put it in the blender in small chunks?
That would work, as long as when you are done with the blending, it is smooth.
Can you use this recipe with different cheeses?
I do know of someone that used Pepper Jack cheese and it came out fine.
So going to make this. I wanna try to make a good Mac and cheese and I've tried to but it never came out well (The cheese always separates when i cook it and it has little flavor) so I was gonna get Velveeta but since I don't know what the heck it is besides a cheese product I'll make this.
Davon Cantley Here is a macaroni and cheese recipe that I recently uploaded - ruclips.net/video/tMaFFvHskzY/видео.html. This one doesn't require Velveeta, but uses shredded cheddar cheese. It is very good. I also have another one on my channel, Amy's Awesome Macaroni and Cheese, and that one does use Velveeta. Both are very good and I haven't had a problem with the cheese separating. I hope you enjoy the homemade Velveeta. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
I know it has been 4 years but the problem with cheese separating can be caused by aged cheeses. (like sharper cheese) try mixing several mild to medium cheese for more flavor.
Hello, I'm wondering if you could replace dry milk with milk?
I wouldn't because it may come out to runny and not set up.
@@lynnsrecipes
Ok. Thank you for replying so quickly. 🤗
You're welcome!
What size bread pan do you use?
5-1/2" x 3". They are mini loaf pans. I hope this helps.
could you freeze this? because if so, then I could make more then I need and freeze the remainder.
T'Rea Criscione I probably would not freeze it because everything I have read about freezing regular Velveeta discourages it because it can change the texture when defrosted. I would say maybe just freeze a little piece of it and see what you think. It may work, I just haven't ever done it before. I hope this helps. ~Lynn
Thank you! I'll experiment 😊
;-)
The more authentic way (and less involved) is to use Sodium Citrate as the emulsifier, which you can buy online.
Wow, that looks good, Lynn! =D It looks like Danish Butter Cheese that one finds at a German delicatessen or a German grocery store. Very well done, Lynn.
Dario Witer Thank you, Dario! I am so happy that you like the recipe. A lot of people don't like to use the store bought variety, so this is a good alternative. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful evening. ~Lynn
lynnsrecipes You're welcome, Lynn. I personally like the Velveeta by Kraft that's sold in stores, but this recipe is a great altternative to the orginal, if one doesn't have it on hand. =)
Dario Witer I like the Velveeta too. ;-)
Lynn have you ever tried it with sharp cheddar?
+James Delesky No, but you could use sharp cheddar and it should work just fine. ~Lynn
Can this be canned and if so does it need to bee water bathed ??
+Wanda Duckworth I really have no idea. The only canning I have ever done is jelly.
Thank you !!
Colby, swiss, and cheddar blended all together. That's what Kraft says is in Velveeta.
You could definitely use that blend of cheeses and this recipe will still work just fine. ;-)
Forget the healthy, how much does your version cost per pound? I know that costs of ingredients varies across the nation but you had a certain cost and I want to know what it was. thanx
+Jeff Stanley I haven't done a breakdown on the cost. I would need to go to the store and price the ingredients because this video has been up for a while and I know the prices change and are different, like you said, in different areas.
+Jeff Stanley
Cheddar Cheese runs $4-6/pound depending on whether it is on sale or not, the gelatin packet is less than 50cents, and the amount of dry milk is less than 50 cents as well.
+Intanius OK folks, the point of my question was why are you making it yourself? I can buy the two pound loaf at Aldis here for $3.99 plus 2% sales tax, the sales tax on food here is only 2%. Everything else is 7%. Their house brand is "Clancys" and taste just like Velveeta, if that is a compliment. I suppose you are making yours without preservatives to justify the time and effort. Maybe you like the taste better than real cheese and that is cool with me, it is after all; your money. I like the taste of the store bought but use real cheese in recipes Unless "pasteurized cheese product" is called for. Cheese is expensive based on the brand you buy. I almost never buy cheese unless it is on sale at Kroger for $2.99 a pound. Thanks for the great video.
+lynnesrecipes maybe its also just not for her...velveeta isn't available in the uk! thanks for the recipe
You're welcome!
Sent from Linda's pantry.
I made it and it turned out great for grilled cheese but when I made Mac and cheese it was not creamy at all. How can I make it creamy?
I looked it up and these are some of the answers I found that maybe you could try - don't add the cheese to a bubbling mixture, grate the cheese, or maybe add more milk. I am not sure what your recipe is for macaroni and cheese, but maybe trying some of those things will help.
@@lynnsrecipes Thank you. I have one more question….would it make a difference if I was using non-fat dry milk powder rather than whole milk? Been racking my brain over it😅.
@@jeannestrader6471 - That I am not sure about. I don't use non-fat products normally, so it could make a difference.
@@lynnsrecipes Thank you. Think I’ll try it and see.
Thank you for posting & Chris cook for u 2 sent me to your page. :)
Bessie Watkins So happy you found my channel. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day. ~Lynn
Wow that looks great i love you so much wish you were my mom
So happy you like it! Thanks so much for watching.
Homemade Velveeta Cheese!
This looks delicious . Thanks for the recipe
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. ~Lynn
+lynnsrecipes I love that you included the recipe, new to your channel. :)
+Wendy R-Pregel You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching. ~Lynn
What if you use fresh goat cheese? It's not as dry as cheddar.
I really do not know how that would work. Sorry.
Ok, I had really high hopes for this. I followed the directions and the the result tasted great and looked just like velveeta, until it came to meltability. The only reason I use velveeta is it's easy & smooth melting, sadly this had mostly the same melting characteristics of regular cheddar.
scottsworth36 I am so sorry it didn't work for you.
lynnsrecipes Does the brand of cheese make any difference? Is it supposed to be meltable & maybe I did something wrong? I'd really love a viable alternative to Velveeta. Thank you for the effort.
I bought a block of cheese and grated it. It was not the packaged kind. The packaged kind usually contains flour or something to keep it from sticking together in the package. It is suppose to melt. Linda's Pantry demonstrated using it in a soup and it did great. ~Lynn
lynnsrecipes I never use pre-grated cheese for anything. Oh well, that's my luck, thank you.
Again, so sorry it didn't work for you. ;-(
I trust you can make velveeta
Can this be frozen?
I am assuming it would work since you can freeze other cheese.
Lynn linda pantry sent me to YOU for the original recipe
Thanks so much for checking it out.
Lynn, please help... I made the Velveeta cheese, added the ingredients you said and put a 1lb package of shredded cheese in and pureed in my food processor for somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes... it looked absolutely smooth and creamy when I put it in the pan. I put it in my refrigerator and when I took it out it looked exactly like Velveeta cheese, I took a slice and it tasted like Velveeta... I decided to make some cheese dip with Rotel. I chopped it up just like I would regular Velveeta put it in a bowl and added the Rotel to it. I put it in my microwave and once it was melted it was chunky. It didn't melt smooth like regular Velveeta does. .. please tell me what I'm doing wrong! Several years back, my wife and I had this exact same problem using Velveeta cheese that we bought in a store. My wife said it was because they changed the recipe for Velveeta cheese... my other thought was to start all over and use a Crock-Pot to melt this rather than the microwave!... Any advice you could give me would be appreciated!
I am not sure why it didn't work. I think the crock pot on low or even in a double boiler would be a good suggestion to try.
@@lynnsrecipes I've been doing a little research about cheddar cheese... I don't think there is any way to recover what I've done to this homemade Velveeta because I think I tried to heat it up too fast.... if you heat it up too fast you separate the oils from the cheese and it kind of clabbers... once this happens there's no recovering from it that I've found. I heated the whole block of cheese in a bowl, of course I cut it up into chunks, in the microwave on high for two minute intervals. I believe I got it too hot on the edges and that's what has caused this. I'm going to try a batch again and try heating it in a double boiler. .. if someone doesn't have a double boiler they can make one on their own by getting two pans out of the cupboard, one larger than the other and putting the smaller one inside of the larger one. I use shish kabobs sticks that are metal to hold the smaller pan off the bottom of the bigger pan... fill the bigger pan up with enough water to cover whatever you're cooking in the smaller pan.... you can turn it on high at first to get the water in the bigger pan boiling, but then you can turn it down to just a small rolling boil. I don't know if this will work, but I will post back if I figure this out... everything about this homemade cheese is absolutely excellent, except for the fact that you have a hard time melting it for cheese dip... If anybody has the solution to this before I waste another pound of cheese, post and let me know!... Lynn, your idea of the double boiler is brilliant! You have no idea how much I appreciate your help! Keep cooking! I have found that I love your Channel and I get excellent ideas from it. Thank you so much for your efforts!...
@@jackwiggins961 - So glad you enjoy the recipes. Hope it all turns out for you. Please keep me and everyone informed about your results. ;-)
@@lynnsrecipes ok, I've found a way to do this, but you have to be VERY careful or you will overheat it and ruin it... First, use BLOCK mild cheddar cheese and grate it yourself to make the shredded cheese... As SOON as it comes out of the food processor is the best to use as cheese dip for chips..... If you have to heat it up, do it VERY SLOWLY!... In a microwave, no more than 15 seconds at a time... If you do it too fast, it will clabbers and it's ruined... You CANNOT recover from an overheated batch... Heat it a little at a time, stirring it REALLY well in between heating and the cheese will remain creamy and smooth!
Okay, I learned how to heat up the homemade Velveeta... It's a pain in the neck, but it works. If you try to heat it up in the microwave it will separate and Chunk up on you. You want to heat it up on the stove in a pot on medium-low. (That will be two to two and a half on an electric stove)... if you are just making cheese dip, add some salsa verde, or picante sauce to give it some moisture... if you're just wanting to melt it, you want to add a tablespoon of milk or heavy whipping cream. Stir It Well while it's melting and even graduate to a whisk once it starts melting good. Do not overheat it. You will see it turning into creamy melted cheese that you can whisk together... for cheese dip I will even add a teaspoon of minced garlic... You may not like that, but I absolutely love garlic so it's awesome for me. If you're not that crazy about garlic leave that out. Anita and I had some cheese dip with corn chips tonight made this way and it was awesome!
I saw Linda from Linda's Pantry making your Velveeta recipe and decided to come watch yours. It will have to be better than Velveeta because they add so much junk to theirs. Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely be trying this.
+elliemae4525 I am so glad that you like the recipe. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching. Have a great week. ~Lynn
Linda pantry said the cheese is delicious
If you can put up with the store bought ingredients and I can, the store bought is quite a bit cheaper and you don't have to make it.
Easy enough, but couldn’t get it to melt after it was made! Wanted to make a cheese dip with rotel tomatoes & it turned out horrible!
The idea of this not containing the chemicals in Velveeta is fantastic. However this is not the recipe for casseroles. The milk will extract from the cheese as it's heating up which means it's going to liquefy the cheese then becomes somewhat stringy. I did this recipe for Thanksgiving and I'm sorry I did because I only make broccoli casserole once a year as that is a family's favorite and it was a disappointment.
Now if you wanted to make original velveeta you’d make the cheese 2 parts Colby to 1 part Swiss to one part Cheddar blended all together
I just found your channel via Linda's Pantry, and now I see you haven't made a video in 4 years ... That makes me sad
HOW COME I can't GO to YOUR site I subscribe I am New
I am not sure. I keep getting informed I have new subscribers. Is there no subscribe box from where you are watching the video? I haven't ever heard that before, so I have no idea what the problem would be. I will try to check and see if there is something going on with this video. Thanks for letting me know.
Healthy velveeta made by a beautiful blonde woman ! What a great time to be alive.
Thank you!
Or you could just buy it from the same store you bought the cheddar cheese :V
