Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed, strained lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instruction

  • Without stirring, pour all of the ingredients in a small heavy-bottom stainless steel saucepan; bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside until the mixture cools slightly, 5-10 minutes. (You’ll see the mixture separating into curds.)
  • Line a strainer (or colander) with cheesecloth and place in a deep bowl (or in the sink.) Very gently scoop the curds out of the saucepan (don’t pour! which will break up the curds) and into the strainer to drain.
  • That’s it! Serve warm or chill for later.NOTE: We've got a lot of recipes with ricotta cheese. Refer to the article for over 15 suggestions of how to use it!
