Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ½ cups whole milk
⅓ cup lemon juice

  • Pour milk into a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat milk until it registers 194 degrees F (90 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

QUICK HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE



Quick Homemade Ricotta Cheese image

This recipe is fantastic. It's super quick and easy - great for a begginer cheese maker. After the cheese has been in the fridge for a while it may start to firm up a little, but it's still good to eat. If you want the soft texture back, just add a little milk or cream.
