How To Make Ricotta
There’s nothing better than homemade ricotta cheese! It’s super easy to do and it only uses the basic ingredients in the kitchen. No fancy equipment needed too. Try it!
Servings: 2.5 cups
Ingredients
- 8 cups whole milk (2 liter)
- 7 oz whipping cream (200 ml)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a pot, add in milk, cream and salt. Bring it to a boil on medium heat. Stir now and then to prevent the milk from scorching. When the milk is boiling, add in lemon juice. Reduce to simmer and stir for 2 minutes until the mixture curdles. Turn the heat off.
- Place a kitchen cloth on a strainer and place it in a bowl. Pour the mixture in. Leave to drain for 1 hour. Your homemade ricotta is ready! Place in a container and keep it in the fridge if you were to use it later.
