Recipe's preparation

1. Add milk & cream into the mixing bowl and Heat 15 min / 80c / speed 2.

2. Add vinegar and Heat 7 min / 90c / speed 2.

Then Rest in the mixing bowl for 5 min.

The milk mixture will separate into curds and whey.

3. Line a simmering basket with muslin or nut milk bag and place over a large bowl

Pour the mixture slowly into the lined basket and allow to drain for 30 min.

Don't squise the liquid from ricotta and insure that the basket is not submerged into the liquid, if so take the basket out and place over a smaller bowl so all the whey can drain away.

Once drained transfer the ricotta onto a serving place if using immediately otherwise place into an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Enjoy !!

Tip

For softer ricotta reduce draining time.

For firmer ricotta increase the draining time

Homemade ricotta can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
