Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ½ cups whole milk
⅓ cup lemon juice

HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE



Homemade Ricotta Cheese image

Once you try this easy and delicious recipe, you'll never buy grocery-store ricotta again.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Milk/Cream     Ricotta     Lemon Juice

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Line a large colander with 2 layers of cheesecloth and place over a large bowl.
  • In a 5 to 6 quart pot over medium heat, heat milk, cream, and salt, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until mixture foams and comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice. Simmer, stirring, until mixture curdles, 2 minutes for small curds. If you'd like a larger, dryer curd, continue to simmer an additional 2 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into cheesecloth lined colander and drain 10 to 15 minutes or until desired texture is achieved. Empty liquid from bowl if necessary to ensure proper draining. Reserved whey can be used in smoothies or soup. Chill ricotta until ready to use.
  • Serve spread onto crostini with a drizzle of olive oil, dollop over pasta or pizza, or stir into scrambled eggs. Ricotta will keep in the fridge for 1 week.

HOMEMADE RICH FRESH RICOTTA CHEESE



Homemade Rich Fresh RICOTTA Cheese image

This is delicious and easy - it almost makes itself. Use it wherever ricotta cheese is called for - in pies, in phyllo, in lasagne etc. Sweeten it with honey for a yummy spread. I got this from Molly O'Neill, who wrote the food section in the NYT for many years. Basically you mix the ingredients, cook for a couple of minutes, and then it drains for half an hour. Then it's done.

Categories     Cheese

Time 12m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups whole-milk yoghurt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 pinch salt

  • Boil for 2 minutes, or until the milk is very curdled.
  • Line a large mesh strainer with a damp kitchen towel or several layers of damp cheesecloth, making sure the cloth extends well over the sides of the strainer.
  • Place the strainer over a deep bowl and pour the milk through the strainer.
  • Drain 30 minutes, making sure the strainer does not rest in the liquid.
  • Gather up the loose ends of the cloth and twist gently to extract more liquid.

  • Discard the liquid (whey).
  • The cheese will keep, refrigerated, for 3 days.

QUICK HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE



Quick Homemade Ricotta Cheese image

This recipe is fantastic. It's super quick and easy - great for a begginer cheese maker. After the cheese has been in the fridge for a while it may start to firm up a little, but it's still good to eat. If you want the soft texture back, just add a little milk or cream.

  • In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, heat the milk on the stove over medium-low heat until it reaches 180 degrees.
  • Add the lemon juice and salt to the milk and stir briefly to combine. Heat over a medium flame for a few more minutes until it reaches 200 degrees.
  • Remove the pot from the stove and let it sit for 10 minutes. The cheese will form as the curds separate from the whey. If you don’t see thick cheese forming in the first minute or two, add a little more lemon juice.
  • After 10 minutes, transfer the mixture to a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. I use this Butter Muslin, which is woven more tightly than some cheese cloth and it’s washable and reusable. (I use this to strain yogurt and ghee as well.)
