How to Make Ricotta Cheese
I had no idea how easy it is to make ricotta cheese. Here is how you make ricotta cheese:
- Bring a 1/2 gallon of milk that has not been homogenized to around 180 degrees Fahrenheit
- Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- When curds form, stain the whole thing using a cheese cloth.
That's it! It's so unbelievably easy. The only other thing you might want to do is add a wee bit of baking powder (to neutralize the vinegar taste) and some salt (for flavor).
With my new found ricotta cheese making skills, I'm getting pumped about making a ricotta cupcake. There will definitely be one coming soon.
- Ricotta Update: My ricotta frosting didn't turn out to be a crowd pleaser. I do, however, have some more ricotta recipes coming soon.
I had no idea it was so simple to make! I am going to make some and make a veggie lasagna! =D

Where can one find non-homogenized milk?
ReplyDeleteSassy - I found some at Whole Foods. I would imagine most natural grocery stories would have it or perhaps a farmers' market.
