Are you a fan of sweet, creamy desserts? Look no further! In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of making sweet ricotta, a delicious delight that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Get your apron on and let’s dive right in!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

2. Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and add the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors to meld together.

4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

5. Line a sieve or cheesecloth with a few layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Place the sieve over a bowl or dish to catch the liquid.

6. Carefully pour the warm mixture into the prepared sieve. The liquid will strain through, leaving you with the creamy ricotta cheese.

7. Gently press down on the ricotta with the back of a spoon to remove any excess liquid. Be careful not to press too hard to maintain the creamy texture.

8. Let the ricotta sit in the sieve for about 30 minutes to allow more liquid to drain off.

9. Transfer the sweet ricotta to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
