Ingredients
- 8 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice or 3/4 teaspoon citric acid
Garnish:
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- herbs
- Drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Pour the milk into the inner pot, and cover with a lid that fits on top of the Instant Pot.
- Select the YOGURT function and adjust until the digital display reads BOIL.
- When the cooking time has been completed, remove the lid, careful not to let any condensation drip into the pot.
- Remove the inner pot and place it on a trivet.
- Next, stir in the lemon juice or citric acid, and continue to softly stir until the milk starts to coagulate. This will take about 30-40 seconds. Stop stirring and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
- After that, line a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and carefully pour the mixture onto the sieve.
- For moist, creamy ricotta, let the cheese drain for 5 minutes. For firmer ricotta, allow the cheese to drain for about 4 hours at room temperature.
- When the cheese is done draining, stir in the salt to taste.
- Transfer the cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate.
- Use in recipes or serve as a spread with some olive oil, pepper, and dried herbs.
