After flipping through the current Food & Wine, we decided it would be fun to make our own ricotta. We were surprised at how simple the process was, were craving a good baked ziti for dinner and pancakes for breakfast so we decided to give it a go.
Making the cheese was a simple process. Step one, heat the milk and cream to 185 degrees.
Step two, stir in the vinegar, stir in the salt.
Step three, cover and wait for cheese.
Step remove curds with slotted spoon and strain in cheesecloth.
Step five, enjoy.
The homemade difference comes through in creaminess, silkiness and flavor. Our baked ziti with dabs of this ultralush ricotta was extra rich and satisfying. Not only was the end result far superior to the store bought alternative but also cheaper.
