Homemade Ricotta 🧀
Have you ever tried making something at home just to see if you could?
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of firsts — and this one surprised me.
Homemade ricotta. From milk to cheese. In my own kitchen.
I read a few recipes, compared notes, and landed somewhere in the middle.
Whole milk, a splash of cream, a little salt, heat, and lemon juice.
Then patience.
Watching it separate felt a bit like magic.
After straining and letting it rest, I ended up with ricotta that was incredibly creamy — fresh, light, and better than I expected.
I’m using this batch for crepe manicotti,
and I may need to make another because… taste testing happened.
There’s something really satisfying about slowing down and learning how everyday ingredients can turn into something special.
Have you ever made cheese at home — or is this on your “one day” list?
👇 I’d love to know.
