Copycat Recipe Homemade Velveeta Cheese

Mmmm… Velveeta Cheese! I love it, especially made into a hot dip!

My husband asked me, “Why would you want to make your own Velveeta Cheese?”. I can think of a whole list of reasons to make my own homemade Velveeta Cheese….

Velveeta is expensive
It’s super yummy
It’s super easy to make
This recipe has only 4 simple ingredients, all of which I recognize
Not every store carries Velveeta

This copycat recipe for Velveeta Cheese is easy to make and tastes awesome! You can use it in all the same recipes you use the store bought cheese, it works just perfectly! Just whip out your blender (or Magic Bullet) to make this, add a few simple ingredients and you’re ready to go!

For my “loaf pan” I actually used the empty box of cookies. I just cut it in half and lined it with plastic wrap.. it was the perfect size!

Tips for Copycat Velveeta Cheese

Use a sharp cheddar for more flavor.
Ensure you use unflavored gelatin, it can be found online or with the Jell-o products.
Line the pan with plastic wrap or wet a piece of parchment paper and line the pan.
You can use a small muffin pan as well, I find a box of crackers to be about the right size. Cut the box to about 4″ high and line it.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before cutting.
Do not use the prepared Velveeta in the slow cooker, it does not hold up well to the longer cooking times.
