Fresh Ricotta
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Ricotta
In a large pot, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 190°F (88°C), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- 2
Curdling the Milk
Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the white vinegar and sea salt. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the curds form.
- 3
Straining the Curd
Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Carefully pour the curds and whey into the strainer and let it drain for about 15-20 minutes, depending on your desired consistency.
