Ingredients

400 g

Ricotta

  • 1500 g whole milk
  • 200 g pure cream, not thickened
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 50 g white vinegar, half an MC

Recipe's preparation

    Ricotta
  1. 1.  Insert butterfly into TM bowl.  Add milk and cream.  Set the milk and cream to cook 16min / 90 deg / sp 2.

     

    2.  At the last minute add the teaspoon of salt.

     

    3.  When the heating has finished, set the timer for 1min, sp soft and add the vinegar quickly through the hole in the lid.

     

    4.  When the minute is up, leave the curds to form for no less than 10 minutes then, using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the curds out and into the simmering basket (hold this over another bowl or the sink).  There is no need for muslin or cheesecloth the ricotta will hold.  Gently place as much as possible into the simmering basket, towards the end just pour the remainder very gently into the basket.  If this is done too quickly, the force of the liquid coming through will ruin your ricotta and half of it might even be washed through.

     

    5.  Set the simmering basket back over the TM bowl to drain for another 10-20 minutes.  The longer it drains the firmer the result.

     

    6.  The ricotta can be eaten straight away and is delicious with the EDC beetroot salad.

Tip

You could try this with goats milk.  It would also then be delicious baked or used in any other recipe.  It keeps for about a week in the fridge.

    PinkSwan:It looks like the two people who tried this using the TM5 had poor results. Perhaps something to do with the speed that the machines reach the desired temperature? Maybe you should remove the one star rating as it wasn't designed / tested on your machine.

    I'm afraid this didn't work for me either and I followed recipe to the letter - only difference is I used a TM5 but can't see how that would have mattered.

    I cannot believe it has taken me so many years to actually consider making ricotta in my thermomix. I will never buy ricotta again. This worked brilliantly thank you - and even better...no need for the chux cloths either! I keep UHT cream in my pantry for "just in case" and I used that which came out beautifully.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Submitted by NKearney on 2. March 2015 - 20:24.

    Hi 2005rosanna sorry it has taken so long to answer your question.  No you do not leave the milk to cool at step 3, you are quite right to add the vinegar to the hot milk.  I'm glad it worked well for you!

  • This was great first time

    Submitted by 2005rosanna on 12. January 2015 - 11:24.

    This was great first time trying. Just a quick question step 3 says once heating has finished then add vinegar, does this mean the thermomix must completely cool down before adding vinegar and mixing again for 1 minute?  My first attempt I did not wait to cool down and it did work well
