Easy and super creamy ricotta recipe! 4 ingredients and you will never buy ricotta again.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Almond milk offers a dairy-free option while soy milk is often cheaper.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: coconut cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Start with 7 cups of 2% milk and 1 cup of heavy cream in a pot.

Heat the milk and cream slowly on medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Use a digital thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for 195-200°F, typically reaching 197°F.

Once the temperature reaches 197°F, turn off the heat.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt while stirring.

Add 3 tablespoons of vinegar while stirring.

Set a timer for 2 minutes and continue stirring to help the curds form.

After 2 minutes, move the pot to the back burner to cool, avoiding the hot surface.

Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 20 minutes to allow curds to separate.

After 20 minutes, break up the curds slightly before straining.
