Making RICOTTA CHEESE from scratch!

Making your own ricotta cheese at home is incredibly easy and cheap! All you need are 3 ingredients, which you probably already have. I promise this ricotta tastes better than the store-bought one and it’s delicious on its own, in lasagna, ravioli, in pancakes, cheesecakes, and more!

Ingredients:
-1 gallon of whole milk
-6 tbsp distilled  white vinegar
-1 1/2 tbsp sea salt

To a large pot, pour a gallon of whole milk and heat over medium-high until it reaches 165-170 degrees F. Remove from heat and add vinegar and salt. Stir to thoroughly combine then cover with a lid and rest for 20 minutes. 

Over a large bowl or container, place a strainer lined with a cheese cloth. Pour cheese curds on top to strain. Do not press, instead let it sit and drain for 10 minutes. The leftover liquid is whey, which you can save for other applications. The result should be a slightly firm ricotta, but you can stir in a few tablespoons of the leftover whey to achieve a creamier consistency.

Keep refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days. Enjoy!
