Blog #64: This is How My Mother Made Her Best Poto Cheese

When I was still with my mother, I constantly helped her making poto cheese. I assisted her until she finished cooking.

Every Christmas and New Year before, we were busy making poto cheese and poto kutchinta because there were bulk orders. I remember there was a time (New Year's Eve) that we end up no food in our table because we were not able to prepare for our own foods due to many orders. We just had the celebration on the next day.

Hey Hivers!

For today's blog I will be sharing to you the recipe of my mother's well-known poto cheese.

Poto Cheese Ingredients and Procedure

_{Pour the 1.5 cup of water in the basin with grated coconut. Squeeze it until the coconut milk will come out. Strain afterwards.}

_{This is the coconut milk.}

_{Prepare 1/4 cake flour; 1/8 white sugar and 4 tablespoon baking calumet.}

_{Prepare the cheese. I used Eden Cheese. Slice it into tiny pieces.}

_{Mix the cake flour and white sugar.}

_{After mixing, add the baking calumet and mix again.}

_{Slowly pour the coconut milk to the container with cake flour and other ingredients.}

_{Mix it thoroughly.}

_{This is how it looks after mixing.}

_{Pour it into the molder and add cheese on top of it.}

_{Place it into the steamer and steam it for 12 minutes.}

_{After 12 minutes take it off from the flame.}

Here's The Finished Product

If you want it to be presentable, you can use cupcake liner.

Pssstt it's my mother's secret please don't tell her that I shared this to you (just kidding). Well, hopefully you like this food too as much as we do.

Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.}
