Homemade Rich Fresh RICOTTA Cheese image

This is delicious and easy - it almost makes itself. Use it wherever ricotta cheese is called for - in pies, in phyllo, in lasagne etc. Sweeten it with honey for a yummy spread. I got this from Molly O'Neill, who wrote the food section in the NYT for many years. Basically you mix the ingredients, cook for a couple of minutes, and then it drains for half an hour. Then it's done.

Time 12m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups whole-milk yoghurt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 pinch salt
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pan, combine the milk, yoghurt and cream and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Boil for 2 minutes, or until the milk is very curdled.
  • Line a large mesh strainer with a damp kitchen towel or several layers of damp cheesecloth, making sure the cloth extends well over the sides of the strainer.
  • Place the strainer over a deep bowl and pour the milk through the strainer.
  • Drain 30 minutes, making sure the strainer does not rest in the liquid.
  • Gather up the loose ends of the cloth and twist gently to extract more liquid.
  • Transfer the curds to a bowl and stir in the salt and nutmeg.
  • Discard the liquid (whey).
  • The cheese will keep, refrigerated, for 3 days.
