Irish Farmhouse Ricotta

Ingredient Amount Calories
Lemon juice 14.58g 3kcal
Cream heavy whipping 250g 850kcal
Sea salt 3g 0kcal
Milk, whole 750g 450kcal

Recipe Instructions:

3 cups (750 milliliters) whole milk
1 cup (250 milliliters) heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Pour the milk, cream, and salt into a 3-quart stainless steel saucepan, and heat the milk to 190° F (88° C), stirring occasionally to keep it from scorching on the bottom. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, slowly stirring once or twice. Let the pot sit for 5 minutes. The milk will separate and form curds and whey.
Line a sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour the curds and whey into the sieve, and let strain for at least 1 hour.
Eat right away or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. (Fresh ricotta will keep in the fridge for one week.)
