Cómo preparar Homemade Fresh Ricotta Cheese

  1. Line a large strainer or colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth.
  2. Place the lined strainer over a large bowl and set aside.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan, heat 4 cups whole milk and 1 teaspoon salt over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice.
  5. Remove from heat and cover immediately.
  6. Let stand for 5 minutes undisturbed.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, gently transfer the curds from the saucepan to the prepared cheesecloth-lined strainer.
  8. Allow to drain for at least 3 minutes (longer for firmer ricotta).
  9. Discard the whey (liquid) in the bowl.
  10. If not using immediately, transfer the ricotta to a clean bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  11. **Reduced-fat version:** Substitute 4 cups reduced-fat milk for the whole milk and follow steps 3-10.
