Servings: 9 1/2 oz (270g)

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Place the milk, cream and salt in a pot or large saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • At this point stir in the vinegar and take off heat.
  • Stand in pot or saucepan for 5 minutes. The mixture should begin to curdle.
  • Strain the mixture through a very fine strainer or muslin cloth to separate the curds. Allow to strain for 10 minutes to ensure thick and creamy ricotta.

If you don’t have a fine strainer or muslin cloth you can line a normal strainer with a clean dish cloth.

      Hi, in making the ricotta what type of milk do you use? Does whole milk work better than the lower fat types?

        Hi Yvonne, yes definitely the whole milk will work better. The flavor is better and you will end up with more ricotta than if you use a lower fat milk. Hope that helps, Jason.
