When you want sandwiches on a diet, homemade bran bread or familiar bread can come to the rescue. But dietary processed cheese according to Dukan will help make these same bread sandwiches incredibly tasty. You can eat it while sitting at any stage of the Dukan diet, as well as on PP and almost any other diet. By the way, it is often to the taste of those who are clearly far from dietary nutrition.
The recipe for processed dietary cheese is incredibly simple, and the ingredients for its preparation can be found in almost any supermarket.
Since cheese is dietary, milk and cottage cheese should accordingly contain a minimum amount of fat in their composition. For this recipe, 0% cottage cheese and 0.5% milk were used. There are many recipes on the Internet that say that cottage cheese should be dry, but good processed cheese can also be made from cottage cheese in soft packaging.
First, you need to transfer the cottage cheese into a bowl and mix it thoroughly with a teaspoon of soda (without a slide). Next, the cottage cheese and soda can be left for one hour so that the cottage cheese softens and becomes transparent. If you don’t have time to wait, you can immediately proceed to the remaining stages of preparation. After the cottage cheese and soda have been mixed together, add one egg, two tablespoons of milk and a little salt to them.
After thoroughly mixing everything, place the bowl of ingredients in the microwave for 1 minute. After one minute, take the bowl with the resulting mass out of the microwave and mix thoroughly.
After stirring, put it in the microwave again for another minute. After the second minute has passed, take the future cheese out of the microwave and stir. If not all the cottage cheese has melted and there are white specks or even lumps of cottage cheese in the cheese, then the resulting mass can be whipped with a blender. The photo below shows the mass after beating with a blender.
Add two teaspoons to the resulting viscous mass. vegetable oil. If desired, you can add flavor with salt, herbs, and various seasonings. This cheese uses finely chopped parsley and dill, salt and a pinch of basil.
That's all, processed dietary cheese is ready. We transfer it to plastic container and store in the refrigerator.
Cheese appears on the list of allowed foods only at the third stage of the Dukan diet. During the “Fixation” phase, a product with a fat content of no more than 7% is allowed, and you can consume no more than 30 g per day. On final stage“Stabilization”, restrictions on its fat content and consumption rates are lifted. Dukan's followers have found a way to include their favorite product in the menu during the first phases of the diet, but they have to prepare it themselves exclusively from products allowed at these stages. Dukan cheese has minimal fat content and is a low-calorie product with a high protein content. You can eat it at any stage of the diet.
Cooking features
In the first stages of the Dukan diet, the list of allowed foods is small; dairy products should have a fat content of no more than 1.5%, this also applies to cheese. Some manufacturers produce low-fat cheeses, but they are very difficult to get. You have to make them at home. This process is lengthy and requires attention from the cook. By dedicating an evening to cooking, you can spend several days, or even the whole week, pampering yourself with your favorite dishes in which cheese is the main ingredient.
- Homemade Dukan cheese is made from cottage cheese, kefir or yogurt with the addition of eggs and milk. The more eggs there are, the denser and yellower the product will be. The more milk, the more tender and soft the cheese will be.
- Baking soda is added to separate whey and reduce acidity when making cheese. It is better not to report it than to shift it. If you still add too much soda and the cheese acquires an unpleasant soda taste, the taste can be balanced by adding a solution citric acid(1 g citric acid per 1 teaspoon water).
- When preparing hard cheese, it is important to separate the whey, so you need to cook it for a long time, and then be sure to squeeze the product through cheesecloth, placing it on a sieve. Next, the product is kept under pressure for some time so that the excess liquid is completely removed from it. The result is a mass with a consistency reminiscent of hard cheese.
- If you use cottage cheese to make cheese, then you need to use as dry and grainy as possible. Soft cottage cheese contains a lot of moisture, the cheese from it will take longer to prepare, and less of it will come out.
- To give the cheese an appetizing shade, you can add a pinch of turmeric or paprika. These spices are allowed at any stage of the Dukan diet. Starting from the second stage, you can add herbs, garlic, and pieces of sweet pepper to the cheese, then it will become even tastier and more appetizing.
Most often, cheese is prepared in a water bath, but it is possible to make it without it. Using a multicooker will save time.

Tofu cheese - use in the Dukan diet
Dukan considers tofu cheese to be the most suitable product in the line of cheeses; it can be used from “Attack” to “Stabilization”. The cheese is made from soybeans, which contain much more protein than eggs, fish or beef. Some nutritionists even call tofu cheese "protein concentrate."
Soy vegetable protein is almost completely absorbed by the body. It helps lower cholesterol, dissolves stones in gallbladder, normalizes kidney function, increases hemoglobin. And of course, the protein found in cheese helps build muscle mass. Any diet assumes that the body will get rid of fat deposits, and the muscles will remain in place and strengthen.
Homemade Tofu Cheese
Useful soy cheese It’s quite possible to cook it yourself. To do this, take one glass of dry soy concentrate and fill it with one glass of cold water. Stir the mixture until smooth, and then add two more glasses of water, but this time boiling. Place the mixed mixture on the fire again and cook very slowly for 15 minutes. When the pan is removed from the heat, pour six tablespoons of lemon juice into it. At this moment, the hot mass will begin to curl up - this is how it should be. Place it on a sieve and let the water drain. As a result, you will have one cup of homemade Tofu cheese.
Low-fat dairy products are one of the nutritional elements during compliance.
The recipe for homemade processed cheese according to Dukan includes a small amount of ingredients, so preparing it is not difficult.
Processed cheese according to Dukan, it’s not easy.
This is a high-protein product that can be consumed already at the Attack stage, and with the addition of cocoa (Dukan chocolate cheese) or mushrooms - during the Cruise.
Preparation of processed cheese according to Dukan
There are many nuances in its preparation, and the usual method of “just mixing all the ingredients” does not always work as it should.
It is important to choose the right cottage cheese for melting. It should be dry, with a minimal amount of whey.
It’s good if it has grains, but do not confuse it with, which is buried in cream.
Proper cottage cheese must also have some sourness.
In other words, this is ordinary classic cottage cheese with dry grain, which is sold in polyethylene pucks or poured into containers, where you can immediately see that there is almost no liquid at the bottom.
Processed cheese according to Dukan can also be obtained from other cottage cheese, but it is not necessary.
Why should cottage cheese be dry? The cheese is melted with baking soda, that is, in an alkaline environment.
If you add soda to wet cottage cheese, it will be quenched by the acidic whey, and the grains will simply not melt. You will have to add a lot of soda, which will affect the taste.
And the question immediately arises: how much soda to put in?
This will depend on the acidity of the cottage cheese, and it is difficult to say exact quantity so that the grains dissolve and there is no smell of soda. All this is determined empirically.
Therefore, the preparation of processed Dukan cheese does not need to be done immediately from large quantity cottage cheese, especially if you took unfamiliar cottage cheese. The optimal amount will be 200-250 g for the experiment.
The next stage of cooking is heating the cheese.
It takes longer to heat up in a water bath, so it is better to cook in a thick-bottomed pan. With vigorous stirring, nothing will burn.
The cheese melts for about 10-15 minutes.
If you have an immersion blender, you can use it to speed up the process and produce a more homogeneous product.
How much milk should I add to homemade processed cheese according to Dukan's recipe?
Depends on what consistency you want the cheese to be. The more milk, the more tender the cheese will be.
Remember that the cheese will thicken as it cools and, if there is little milk, it may even harden in the refrigerator so that it can be cut.
And now the recipe for Dukan “Processed Cheese” at home.
Dukan recipe for processed cheese
Ingredients:
- low-fat cottage cheese 0-0.5% - 300 g
- soda - from 1/2 tsp.
- salt - 0.5-1 tsp. or to taste
- milk - 60-120 ml or more
How to make processed curd cheese according to Dukan:
1. Pour cold cottage cheese into a saucepan, add soda and stir, breaking up large grains of cottage cheese so that it gets inside. Leave for 1 hour.
If you listen, you will hear a quiet hissing sound - this is the soda reacting with the acid.
2. After an hour, the cottage cheese becomes more transparent and viscous. Add milk, stir and place on low heat.
You can add more milk during the process if needed. If your mass quickly turns into liquid and flowing, then it is important not to overfill the milk.
3. The cottage cheese gradually melts and turns into cheese.
If you notice that the particles no longer dissolve, although the mass has warmed up well, add a little more soda.
4. When the mass becomes mushy, stir it immersion blender. Taste the cheese for salt.
If at this stage the cheese does not smell of soda, then the ratio is chosen correctly. If not, then you can add a little citric acid solution to neutralize it.
5. Pour the finished cheese into a storage container.
You can add herbs, mushrooms, and spices to the cheese. To get chocolate processed cheese according to Dukan, add cocoa and sweetener.
This melted cheese can be used in many Dukan recipes, spread on Dukan buns or bread.
Losing weight according to the Dukan system is a long and complex process. The list of foods that can be eaten in the first strict phases is short and rather meager. It’s especially hard for lovers of store-bought cheese, who, before starting to lose weight, were accustomed to eating a sandwich with a slice of their favorite snack for breakfast. At the Attack and Cruise stages, traditional cheese is not on the list of acceptable foods, but you can still eat it. This is not an ordinary product, but the diet is also unusual!
Attack and Cruise
Are all the usual supermarket cheeses prohibited on Dukan? On Attack and Cruise - yes, that's it. Dutch, Russian, Poshekhonsky - during the first two stages you can forget about these species. Why? The answer is simple - they contain a lot of fats, which are excluded from the diet. However, Dukan has nothing against low-fat processed cheese, which is allowed even on Attack.
At the Attack stage, the Dukan diet allows the consumption of low-fat processed homemade cheese
“Can I eat other types of cheese if they have zero fat content? For example, hard cheese or feta cheese? - the attentive reader will ask. There are no such recommendations on the official Dukan page, but if the amount of product per day is reasonable, this is allowed. Moreover, in low-fat form it can be not only processed cheese, but also such types as Adyghe, cottage cheese and the main cheese of salty lovers - feta cheese.
Consolidation and Stabilization
After the Cruise, cheese with a fat content of no more than 7% is allowed, its amount per day should not exceed 30 grams.
Starting from the Consolidation stage, you can eat a slice of cheese 30 grams per day with a fat content of up to 7%
Only at the Stabilization stage can you forget about restrictions and safely go to the store for your favorite type of cheese.
Where can I buy approved ones?
Low-fat cheeses are sold in stores: Tartare 0%, Chavroux 0%, Carré frais 0%, Saint Moret 0%, as a rule, all of them are foreign-made.
It’s difficult to buy low-fat products, even such specific ones, in stores, but without them special effort can be prepared in the kitchen at home. Such cheese tastes, aroma and color is not much different from factory-made cheese and will help you withstand a strict diet.
Homemade cheese is practically no different from store-bought cheese.
