Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat milk, cream, and salt over medium heat while stirring. Cook just until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, and stir to combine.
- Let the mixture rest undisturbed for 30 minutes to allow curds to form.
- Line a fine mesh strainer or colander with 2 layers of damp cheesecloth. Gently spoon the ricotta curds into the strainer.
- Allow to drain for 30-45 minutes.
Notes
- Homemade ricotta cheese will last up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
