Fresh Homemade Ricotta

Ingredients for Fresh Homemade Ricotta

• 1.9L whole milk

• 240ml double cream

• 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• large sieve, fine-mesh cheesecloth

How to make Fresh Homemade Ricotta

Line a large sieve with a layer of heavy-duty (fine-mesh) cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl.

Slowly bring milk, cream, and salt to a rolling boil in a 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Add lemon juice, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture curdles, about 2 minutes.

Pour the mixture into the lined sieve and let it drain 1 hour. After discarding the liquid, chill the ricotta, covered; it will keep in the refrigerator 2 days.
