How do you uncurdle cheese?

Answer 1

It depends what mixture has curdled:

-It is not possible to uncurdle milk or cream. In this case, curdling occurs when something acidic (such as lemon juice, vinegar or alcohol) is added to hot milk or cream, which will cause it to split into curds and whey. This is how ricotta cheese is made.

- If custard curdles slightly, supposedly cooling it quickly then blending and sieving can salvage it. However this only works for tiny amounts of curdling in the custard.

-Sometimes chocolate which has curdled (or "seized") can be salvaged by adding a tiny amount of honey. However this does not always work, and if the chocolate remains grainy it should be discarded.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you can't undo this -- once it has curdled, it has curdled. This curdling can be causes by several things: the first is, the cream may have been bad, or approaching the end of its shelf life. The introduction of salt or acid can also curdle cream or other milk products. The most likely culprit is heat.

When adding a milk or egg product to a dish or soup, you should wait until the very end of the cooking process, and remove the dish from heat. If you can let the dish cool to room temperature before adding the cream, that's better.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, this can't be done. Once cheese has been curdled, its curdled, and you can't restore its original state. There are a couple of reasons why cheese can curdle: its old, too much heat, or an acid.

You can reduce your chances of cheese curdling in a recipe by trying to avoid using older cheese, not adding the cheese until everything else has been cooked, and taking the pot off the fire when you do so, don't boil the cheese, and if you have to add an acid such as lemon juice to the mix, do so at the end.
