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.

Add 500 ml of milk to a pot.

Use high fat percentage milk, like 3.5% in Canada or full fat in Ireland.

Turn the heat to medium to high, avoiding high heat to prevent scalding.

Watch for steam and a skin forming on the milk.

When little bubbles appear underneath the skin, add acid.

Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar for 500 ml of milk.

Gently stir the milk after adding the acid and turn off the heat.

Let the mixture sit for around 5 minutes to separate curds from whey.

Use a ladle to pour the mixture into a strainer to separate the whey from the solids.

Save the whey for making bread.

Let the ricotta cool for about 30 minutes.

Season the ricotta with salt, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Add a little cream to adjust the thickness of the ricotta.
