Yes, You Can Make Cheese in Your Instant Pot—Here’s How to Get Started

If the idea of homemade cheese sounds dreamy but the thought of standing guard over the stove fearing the dreaded boil over has stopped you from trying, you’re in the right place. Your Instant Pot does the steady heating, the timing (it beeps!), and avoids scorched milk leaving you to focus on applause and fun get togethers.

In this beginners' guide you’ll get:

• The styles of cheeses you can make in your Instant Pot: cultured cheeses, high-heat cheeses, and direct heat and pulled-curd cheeses.

• An invite for a free self-paced, Instant Pot Cheese Challenge so you can try all four styles with step-by-step guidance (by the person who wrote the book on Instant Pot Cheese, not kidding.).
  
  

• The easy cheeses you’ll make in this free guide AKA challenge: ricotta, cultured goat cheese or fromage blanc, quick mozzarella, pot-in-pot paneer.

At first glance, mascarpone and posset seem totally different—one’s a rich Italian cream cheese, the other is a smooth English dessert. But guess what? They’re made using the same no-fuss technique!

Just heat up some heavy cream, add a touch of acid, and let the magic happen. If you've ever wanted to make mascarpone from scratch or whip up a ridiculously easy yet elegant dessert, you're in for a treat. 

Did you know you can make many more cheeses with your mozzarella kit? That's right, the same citric acid, rennet, salt, thermometer and cheesecloth that we include in our most popular DIY Cheese Kit can be used to make mascarpone, string cheese, paneer, burrata and other exciting cheeses!

Here are some ways you can make your kit work for you.

Is cheese ice cream a thing? Absolutely! Combining the creamy goodness of cheese with the refreshing sweetness of ice cream creates a unique and crave-worthy dessert. This cheese based ice cream celebrates both ricotta and in-season strawberries at their peak.
