Steps:

  • Line a large colander with 2 layers of cheesecloth and place over a large bowl.
  • In a 5 to 6 quart pot over medium heat, heat milk, cream, and salt, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until mixture foams and comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice. Simmer, stirring, until mixture curdles, 2 minutes for small curds. If you'd like a larger, dryer curd, continue to simmer an additional 2 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into cheesecloth lined colander and drain 10 to 15 minutes or until desired texture is achieved. Empty liquid from bowl if necessary to ensure proper draining. Reserved whey can be used in smoothies or soup. Chill ricotta until ready to use.
  • Serve spread onto crostini with a drizzle of olive oil, dollop over pasta or pizza, or stir into scrambled eggs. Ricotta will keep in the fridge for 1 week.

8 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pour milk into a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat milk until it registers 194 degrees F (90 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir lemon juice and salt slowly into warmed milk. Let stand until milk curdles, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour milk mixture carefully into the lined strainer. Let stand until most of the liquid has drained off the ricotta, about 15 minutes. Discard drained liquid.

  • In a large saucepan combine the milk, cream, and salt. Heat over medium heat until bubbles form around edges of pan and an instant read thermometer reads between 175 and 185 degrees F. Milk should not boil.
  • Turn down temperature to low and stir in distilled white vinegar. Let milk continue to maintain temperature between 175 and 185 degrees (adjusting heat as needed) for 20 minutes. Watch milk carefully so it doesn't boil.
  • After 20 minutes, the milk curds (cheese) should be well separated from the whey (milky white substance). Scoop out large curds with a fine mesh strainer into a nut milk bag (see note) set in a bowl. Or alternately you can use several layers of cheesecloth laid over a colander in a bowl.
  • Pour in remaining milk mixture and, if using a nut milk bag, carefully lift it up out of the strainer and hang so the whey can continue to drip from the bag into the bowl. Let the whey drip for 20-60 minutes, depending the texture of the ricotta you are going for. Less time straining will yield a creamier ricotta while more time straining will produce a drier, fluffier ricotta.
