Sensational Mac and Cheese? What can be more basic, right? Well… yes and no. The classic Mac and Cheese recipe is rather simple and straight forward, and therefore, the taste is quite basic indeed. But, I’m not here for the basic taste. Basic, easy recipe – yes. But, no compromises on taste are accepted here.  This blog post is the ONLY POST you need to read to learn the secret behind the MOST CHEESY Mac’n’Cheese out there! No exaggeration, no clickbait, pure FACTS✌ You can watch the full video of me making Mac & Cheese here Part 1 – Cream Cheese for Mac’n’Cheese 65g Dry white wine 60g Weissbier 50g Water 12g Sodium citrate 5g Salt 1.25g Iota Carrageenan 95g Gruyere cheese 20g Parmigiano cheese 170g Havarti cheese Ingredients, you’ll need Directions Grate all the cheeses to small shred.  Cut Mozzarella to small cubes. Blend all the rest of the ingredients (except for Iota Carrageenan) together. Keep on blending and start adding Iota Carrageenan slowly-slowly, while blending continuously. Bring the mixture to boil and simmer for about 2 min, in order to gently evaporate the alcohol and hydrate the Iota Carrageenan.  Take the mix off the heat and immediately mix together with grated cheese. Once it’s mixed, take a hand blender and blend to a smooth consistency.  Transfer the cream cheese to a container, cool down to room temperature and then let it set for a couple of hours in the fridge.
