• turmeric powder just a pinch

Instructions​

• Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan, heat on medium heat, and whisk constantly until it starts to thicken, about 7 minutes.

• Cool and use as desired.

Notes​

Nutritional information is for entire portion.

• Use whichever type of milk you'd like.

Fridge Storage:Once transferred to a bowl or jar place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the curd as it cools so a skin doesn’t form. The curd will set completely in the fridge. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.


To freeze - can be frozen for 6 months. I like to freeze in smaller portions using ice cube trays and then freezer-safe zippered bags so it's easier to use as needed.
