Ricotta Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Full fat milk
  • 1 cup Cream
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan combine the milk and cream and set over a medium high heat.
  • Bring to a rapid boil, stirring occasionally to avoid a scorched base.
  • Boil for 1 minute, then add the lemon juice and the vinegar.
  • Allow to boil for 1 minute then remove from the heat and leave to stand so the curds can form.
  • Line a sieve with muslin cloth and place over a bowl. Pour the curdled milk mix into the muslin and allow to drain for 1 – 2 minutes.
  • unwrap the cloth and empty cheese into a bowl. Whip slightly with a fork, then place into the fridge to chill.
  • Makes approx 1 cup of ricotta.

Notes

Muslin cloth can be purchased at homeware stores or fabric shops.
If you don’t have lemon juice on hand just replace with same value of apple cider vinegar.
Ricotta will keep for a few days in an air tight container in the fridge.
