You can make your own processed cheese spread with just five ingredients. You can find a detailed recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Homemade processed cheese spread instead of store-bought
Just like the homemade ryazhenka, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, lemonade or homemade iced tea, this homemade processed cheese spread tastes much more delicious than supermarket cheese. It is heavenly creamy, tender and smooth.
What’s more, it contains no flavor enhancers, preservatives or colorings. You can make your own processed cheese spread from just five natural ingredients.
And you also decide which quality ingredients you use for the recipe. You can make your own tvorog from organic milk beforehand. It is also best to use organic butter and eggs.
Where can I get tvorog?
To make the processed cheese spread at home, you need Russian farmer’s cheese for my recipe. Many supermarkets now sell tvorog. You can also buy it in Russian stores.
Alternatively, you can easily make your own farmer’s cheese. You only need two ingredients. You can use tvorog for many other recipes, such as the farmer’s cheese pryaniki, ponchiki, tvorog korzhiki, farmer’s cheese piroshki, “Palchiki” or blini filled with tvorog.
Homemade processed cheese spread in different flavors
You can start by making the classic processed cheese and then spice it up with different ingredients. This will give you any flavor you like.
For example, processed cheese spread with mushrooms tastes delicious. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces and fry them in a little vegetable oil, similar to the potato zrazy with mushrooms, pirog with potatoes and mushrooms or lenivye pelmeni. Then mix them with the hot processed cheese as soon as you have removed it from the water bath.
The classic among all varieties is processed cheese with herbs. You can use fresh parsley, as for the herb bread, or fresh dill. Dried herbs are also suitable.
Different spices can also be used to add a variety of flavors to the classic processed cheese spread. Stir in paprika or garlic powder, for example.
Versatile to use
The homemade processed cheese spread can be used in many different ways, just like the homemade strawberry syrup, the vegan wild garlic pesto or the pickled radishes.
You can eat it in the classic way on bread for breakfast, alongside the hummus, walnut spread or basil pesto. It is also perfect as a dip for vegetables.
You can also use the processed cheese to refine various main dishes, such as casseroles or soups. It is also suitable for preparing delicious sauces.

Homemade processed cheese spread
Ingredients
- 400 g farmer’s cheese (tvorog)
- 80 g butter room warm
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
- Put farmer’s cheese, softened butter, egg, baking soda and salt in a small saucepan and blend everything with a hand blender to a homogeneous mixture.
- Pour some water into a larger saucepan, bring to a boil and turn the heat down to low so that the water simmers gently.
- Hang the smaller saucepan with the farmer’s cheese mixture over the large saucepan of simmering water so that the bottom of the small saucepan does not touch the water.
- Heat the farmer’s cheese mixture over the water bath (the water should continue to simmer) for approx. 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the farmer’s cheese has melted and a smooth, liquid mass has formed.
- Pour the hot processed cheese mixture through a fine sieve to remove any remaining tvorog grains.
- Pour the processed cheese spread into screw-top jars, seal and leave to cool.
- Store the homemade processed cheese spread in the fridge. It is best to leave it at room temperature for a short time before serving. This will make it a little smoother and more spreadable.
