Ricotta cheese

Homemade ricotta, easy and awesome.

Ingredients

  • 1 litre of full fat whole milk.
  • 1tsp salt
  • 4tsp lemon juice

Method

Bring all to the boil, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until curds float on top of the liquid.
Transfer the curds to a square of muslin, and tie up to hang over an empty bowl in the fridge.
Hang for 2-3 hours, until desired texture is achieved.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
