Comment préparer Homemade Ricotta

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, gently combine 4 cups whole milk (or fat-free milk) and 1/2 cup buttermilk over low heat.
  2. Submerge a candy thermometer into the milk mixture, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. Slowly heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 175°F (80°C).
  3. While the milk heats, prepare your strainer. Line a fine-mesh strainer with several layers of cheesecloth (or several layers of paper towels for easier cleanup) and place it over a large bowl.
  4. Once the milk reaches 175°F (80°C), you'll notice curds (ricotta) forming on the surface. Carefully use a slotted spoon or skimmer to remove the curds and gently place them into the prepared strainer.
  5. Let the ricotta drain in the cheesecloth for at least 1 hour. The longer it drains, the firmer the ricotta will be.
  6. After 1 hour, transfer the strainer (with the ricotta still inside) to a clean bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow further draining.
  7. Once drained, transfer the creamy ricotta to an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within a few days for optimal freshness.
  8. Enjoy your homemade ricotta in your favorite dishes! Don't forget to save the leftover whey – it's fantastic in bread recipes!
