Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the milk and cream in a deep saucepan.
- 2
Heat the mixture on medium until it starts to simmer. IMPORTANT: Stir occasionally to refrain from burning and NEVER leave it unattended as milk can easily boil over.
- 3
Once it starts to simmer, turn off the heat and add in your vinegar. Stir well.
- 4
Wait for 10 minutes and observe as your milk starts to curdle. If it doesn't work, add more vinegar until milk solids/gobules appear.
- 5
While waiting for the milk to curdle, prepare your filter. Line a colander or strainer with 4 layers of cheesecloth or paper towels.
- 6
Pour the mixture over your strainer. The water that comes out of it is whey. You can save it and use in other recipes if you want.
- 7
Mix in the salt and do a taste test. You may add in more salt if you want.
- 8
Now the last step is to wait for the draining to finish. There is no definite time on how long it should be drained. I drained mine overnight in the fridge to make sure that no whey is left. If you want a creamy version, drain it for 10-20 minutes.
- 9
And once you remove it from the strainer, tada! Homemade ricotta! Yummy! This will keep good for 4-5 days in the fridge.

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.

How to Make Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese in the Microwave How to Make Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese in the Microwave
This is how I used to make this a long time ago. It's easy to remember the amounts of ingredients and the ratios! This is especially convenient when you don't want to buy cheese and you can make it!When you make the whey recipe, rather than boiling it, make it with milk and it's low calorie. If you bring it up to just before boiling in a pot it will dry out. So, be sure to cook it at a low temperature so that you can control the firmness. It's easier and tastier this way. Recipe by mini
