Recipe's preparation

    Ricotta
  1. Line Rice Basket with muslin and secure with a rubber band, set aside in sink or a bowl

    Heat milk for 10 mins 100 degrees, speed 2 or until the temo is reached.

    Turn of heat tand increase speed to 4 to create a whirlpool.

    Turn speed dial off and quicky pour vinegar though the lid onto the swirling milk. 

    Leave to rest for 2 mins.

    Gently remove the curds with a slotted spoon into your rice basket. You can pour the remaining liquid/whey throught the basket also to collect the last bits of ricotta.

    Leave to drain for 10-20 mins. I usually place the rice basket into the empty TM bowl for this time and try to suspend the muslin cloth by tying it over a chop stick so more water can drain formt he ricotta.

    Enjoy.

    Usually I cant resist eating some of the warm ricotta sprinkled with olive oil and salt.

    I made this for the first time today, I used full cream lactose free UHT milk. first I tried 1/4 cup of lemon juice as my daughter is allergic to vinegar and I got approximately 2/3 cup of ricotta which I ate for my lunch warm! there was still a heap of milk in the mixing bowl so I heated it back to 90 degrees & added 20 mls of malt vinegar which has netted about 1 1/2 cups of ricotta.

    This method is great. I've been making ricotta for a few years before I got my thermomix. Was disappointed with the result when I tried in the thermie using a couple of other recipes on here. This one has been the most successful.

    Submitted by LMS87 on 30. November 2018 - 20:30.

    I made two batches of this today as I wasn’t sure how much ricotta I would get. I bought two different brands of milk to see if the end result would vary in texture and quantity. To me both tasted the same. I personally do find that homemade ricotta does have that slight vinegary taste to it though, not like store bought ricotta.

    2L Wollies $2 full cream milk - 285g ricotta
    1.5L Farmhouse Gold - 240g ricotta

    my first batch I did at 100degrees and burnt the bottom of my bowl. Second batch i did 90degrees and my bowl was fine. I followed lead from comments below to put temp to 90d.

    Used 1/4 cup of lemon juice instead of vinegar, 1 litre of full cream milk and added some sea salt at the end. Work really well and the lemon taste was an extra element.

    Will be doing this again, maybe I'll add some fresh herb as well next time.

    Am I reading this correctly and you need to heat the milk until the temperature on the Thermomix has reached 100 degrees?

    i did not take any notice of how hot it was after the 10 minutes. Wondering if it should try it again with more vinegar?

    Only made about 370g (not 500g). Any suggestions on what I might have done wrong? A number of other posters seem to have had a similar experience (eg 250g, 350g, 400g). I used full fat dairy milk. Otherwise it was fine - but I had needed 500g for a recipe.

    Submitted by Maida on 3. February 2017 - 14:52.

    I used A2 milk and half cup vinegar. I strained in my new Cuisipro donvier Yoghurt cheese maker which made the whole process extra easy. I only got 350g. Might try a different milk next time.

    This time I used Devondale full cream milk but only used 1/4 cup vinegar by mistake. Only got 250g cheese. The 1700 ml whey was very milky and I repeated the process with another 1/4 cup vinegar. Another 200 g cheese and clear whey. I wonder if this is a better way of doing it. Our " mistakes " often open other doors.

    This time I used a slotted spoon and gently placed the ricotta directly into the basket so no need to use muslin cloth at all Perfect


    Want to put 5 stars but it's not working. Why?

    Didn't have a slotted spoon so used a tea strainer, and used the elastic band from the cheesecloth to make a loop and hung it from a wooden spoon inside a jug to drain.

    Tastes so creamy and lovely. Love

    We used Zymil Low Fat Milk as it was on sale - 50c. We were unsure about the low fat part, but it worked great. We used 2l Milk and half cup of vinegar, 100 degrees 14 minutes, Speed 2 in the TM5 with MC in - no sticking or burning. We got at least 250g Ricotta. So simple, so good, so quick. Thanks for recipe and all the helpful comments.

    Submitted by Amajjika on 16. August 2015 - 10:59.

    Has anyone made this recipe with raw milk?

    I did and while the taste is lovely the texture was dry and slightly rubbery.  It leaves a squeaky feeling on the teeth and is not creamy like high end ricotta's.

    Any suggestions?

    Wow! Can't believe I made ricotta! Thanks for the recipe.  I used lite A2 milk and made a couple of tweaks based on the other comments.  Set at 90 degrees, spd 3 and it took about 17 minutes to heat up to the temperature. I didn't have a muslin cloth so used a tea towel and let it strain for about an hour.  Worked great!

    I love this recipe.  Buy good milk when it is marked down, and make ricotta.  The whey lasts for ages and I add it into my bread recipes for extra lightness.

    Made it with A2 milk. Works just as well. I usually heat it at speed 3 to prevent burning. I also use cider vinegar instead of white. After the taste test(s) I hope there is enough for my moussaka.
