Homemade Cheddar Powder Recipe

This versatile powder infuses cheesy flavor into snacks, pastas, soups, and more. Making your own allows you to control the ingredients.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or diced finely
  • Paper towels or reusable mesh dehydrator sheets

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cheese by shredding block cheese or dicing into small cubes. You can also use store bought shredded cheese.
  • Line dehydrator trays with paper towels or mesh sheets. Evenly spread cheese out in a thin layer, allowing space between pieces.
  • Dehydrate at 115°F for 8-12 hours, checking periodically, until cheese pieces are completely brittle and dry.
  • Allow cheese to cool fully, then transfer to a blender or food processor in small batches. Pulse to create a fine powder. Avoid overmixing.
  • Transfer freshly made powder to an airtight container, sealing tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
