HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE FROM WHEY



Homemade Ricotta Cheese from Whey image

When you make farmers cheese, fresh mozzarella, cottage cheese, etc. you are left with a large pot of whey. Most people throw this away or save just a bit for breads or fermenting. However, ricotta in Italian means "recook" or "cook again." Ricotta cheese is made simply by cooking the leftover whey from your cheesemaking session again! How simple and easy is that!

Provided by The Simple Recipe D

Categories     Cheese

Time 17m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 gallon whey, actually the whey left from a 1-2 gallon cheesemaking session
1 pinch salt, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • This recipe is so simple that it was difficult to get it published here as there is a requirement of a minimum of 3 ingredients.
  • There is no requirement for the chives or even the salt, but I was required to have 3 ingredients. All you really need is how ever much whey you have left over from your cheesemaking session.
  • In a stainless steel pot, heat the whey until it reaches 200 degrees. Do not stir. You'll notice a film that will start forming on the top of the whey. This is your ricotta starting to form.
  • When your whey reaches 200 degrees, take it off the heat. You'll know when you have reached this temperature as bubbles will have formed around the edges. Using a slotted spoon or ladle, scoop the layer of thickened ricotta that formed on top of the whey into a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl. Continue scooping the ricotta until all that's left is the clear whey.
  • Grab all 4 corners of the cheesecloth and tie into a ball. Place a string around the top of the cheesecloth/ricotta bundle and hang to drain over a bowl.
  • For moist ricotta, hang for 2 hours.
  • For more dry ricotta, hang for 8 hours.
  • Remove ricotta from cheesecloth and store in a mason jar or plastic tub. It's now ready to be used in recipes or add salt & herbs and it becomes a wonderful cheese spread.
  • Enjoy!

HOMEMADE RICOTTA



Homemade Ricotta image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 43m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons good white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Set a large sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 layers of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with the cheesecloth.
  • Pour the milk and cream into a stainless-steel or enameled pot such as Le Creuset. Stir in the salt. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for 1 minute until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
  • Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes, occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. The longer you let the mixture drain, the thicker the ricotta. (I tend to like mine on the thicker side, but some prefer it moister.) Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining whey. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep refrigerated for 4 to 5 days.
