Easy 3-Ingredient Homemade Ricotta Cheese | Quick & Delicious!

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Heat milk in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 190°F, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pot from heat and stir in white vinegar and lemon juice.

Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until curds form and separate from whey.

Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl to catch the whey.

Pour the curds into the colander, allowing the whey to drain for 10-15 minutes.

Gather the cheesecloth and gently squeeze to remove excess whey, if desired.

Transfer the ricotta to a bowl and stir in salt and black pepper to taste.

For a creamier texture, fold in heavy cream or Greek yogurt if using.
