    4. Add all remaining ingredients to the saucepan and stir with a whisk.

    5. Turn the heat on to medium and stir frequently until it boils.

    6. Turn down the heat until the cheese sauce is just barely boiling and stir constantly for 6 minutes until it is very smooth.

    7. Immediately pour into the prepared cheese molds.

    8. Let it cool with the lid off for about 15 minutes at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firmly set. 

    9. Once the cheese is cooled completely cover and store in the refrigerator in a sealed for up to a week.
