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.

    Worked really well with halving the quantity and using fresh lactose free milk and lemon juice, next time will try long life lactose free milk.

    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.

    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.
