Homemade ricotta cheese
Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large pot add milk and heavy cream on medium high heat and bring to a simmer until it reaches 200° fahrenheit. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
- 2
Once its up to temp remove from heat and add in salt. Slowly drizzle in vinegar while stirring.
- 3
It should instantly start curdling and separating. If this does not happen add in a little more vinegar.
- 4
Let it sit in the pot for 15 mins to completely separate.
- 5
Strain into a cheesecloth lined strainer and let it sit anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to drain. The longer it sits the drier it becomes so its up to your preference on how long you let it drain.
- 6
If you dont have a cheesecloth a regular mesh strainer will work just fine.
- 7
Taste test it for seasoning and adjust salt if needed. Add any additional seasoning or herbs after its drained to make it your own.
- 8
Store covered in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

***note****
Leftover whey can be used to brine chicken, make caramel and lots of other things so dont throw it out. - 10
Enjoy in lasagna or sweeten it up with powdered sugar and mini chocolate chips and turn it into a delicious filling for cannolis.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I watched a cooking program for cheese on TV in Sydney.It looked so easy to make so I tried the recipe straight away.If you prefer a creamier taste, add heavy cream into the milk.I usually use 300 ml of heavy cream and 700 ml of milk.But if you do so, it changes the taste from your typical ricotta cheese, little by little.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I always feel like I buy a tub of ricotta and only use it for one recipe. The rest just goes to waste and molds in the fridge. So this time I tried making my own and it turns out it is simple, easy and delicious. I'll never buy grocery store ricotta again. The higher quality dairy you use the better it will be. This recipe also only makes about two cups but is so easy to multiply.

Homemade Lactose-Free Ricotta Homemade Lactose-Free Ricotta
I love ricotta and always try to have some at home. When I found out how easy it is to make, I decided to try it with lactose-free and ultra-pasteurized milk, even though most recipes called for whole, fresh milk. I was pleasantly surprised with the result: a very creamy, delicious ricotta that can be enjoyed by those who are lactose intolerant.
