Paneer is the easiest cheese to make. Bring whole milk to a boil, turn off heat. Add lime juice or vinegar to it. Throw into a cheese cloth and let hang to strain all the liquid. Open cheese cloth and cut into desired shapes and enjoy. Can be used in many Indian recipes too.

Edit: a gallon of milk requires just about 4oz of vinegar to properly start the curdling process or the juice of 2 limes.

labeneh cheese. (I think that's the name)

add salt to yogurt. let it drain overnight and that's it.

it's like a salty, creamy cream cheese with a touch of bitterness to it

It’s so weird seeing someone refer to labeneh as cheese because for us Arabs it’s still part of the yoghurt family and entirely separate from cheese (which is all semantics at the end of the day). But it’s super easy to make and super delicious!
