    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    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.
    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!

    Waste of time making this for the amount of Ricotta made.
    Will not make again.
    Will save whey for my plants as they love it

    I agree, great recipe!
    Used left over whey from halloumi recipe and added extra whey and cream because I didn't have enough milk. Consistency much better than an all milk ricotta recipe I'd tried earlier.

    Great Recipe!

    I used left over whey from making mozzarella cheese to make this ricotta. It didn't make a lot but the taste and texture were great. I didn't add any salt as it did not need it.
