Preparation
Step 1
Line 5 x 4-inch disposable aluminum loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing excess to hang over sides.
Mix water and gelatin in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
Combine cheese, milk powder, salt, and cream of tartar in a food processor and pulse a couple of times until combined.
Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan and remove from heat, then stir in the softened gelatin until dissolved.
With the food processor running, slowly add hot milk mixture to cheese mixture until smooth, about 1 - 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Immediately transfer cheese mixture to prepared pan. Wrap tightly and chill at least 3 hours.
