Super Easy Homemade Ricotta Cheese Recipe.
You can cook Super Easy Homemade Ricotta Cheese using 4 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.
Ingredients of Super Easy Homemade Ricotta Cheese
- It’s 1 liter of full cream milk.
- You need 225 ml of heavy cream.
- Make ready 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar.
- You need 1/2 tsp of salt (optional).
Super Easy Homemade Ricotta Cheese step by step
- Combine the milk and cream in a deep saucepan..
- 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..
- Once it starts to simmer, turn off the heat and add in your vinegar. Stir well..
- 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..
- While waiting for the milk to curdle, prepare your filter. Line a colander or strainer with 4 layers of cheesecloth or paper towels..
- 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..
- Mix in the salt and do a taste test. You may add in more salt if you want..
- 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..
- And once you remove it from the strainer, tada! Homemade ricotta! Yummy! This will keep good for 4-5 days in the fridge..
