Ricotta cheese is a great source of calcium and provides a range of essential nutrients including vitamin A, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B12, Vitamin K, iodine, phosphorus, selenium and zinc, it's so easy to make from scratch, and so much cheaper than buying it in stores

Ricotta Cheese

Ingredients Yield 2 cups 1/2 gallon Whole Milk

1/3 cup Lemon Juice or Distilled White Vinegar

Optional 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

Pour the milk into a pot and warm gradually to 95°C. The milk will get foamy and start to steam; remove it from heat if it starts to boil.

Remove the milk from heat. Pour in lemon juice or vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.

Let the pot of milk sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. After this time, the milk should have separated into clumps of milky white curds and thin, watery, yellow-coloured whey. If you still see a lot of un-separated milk, add another tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and wait for a few more minutes.

Set a strainer over a bowl and line the strainer with our muslin bag. Scoop the curds out of the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the strainer. Drain the curds until it reaches the consistency to your liking.

Use right away or keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.

Reuse leftover almond pulp to make cookies, granola etc. Here, we picked a couple of our favourite recipes to use up the leftover pulp.

We love these crispy 1-Bowl Vegan Gluten Free Crackers by Minimalist Baker. It's so easy to make, and really crispy. It's great to eat as is, but we love to use it to dip in hummus, they are just so perfect together.

Another recipe is Oat and Almond Granola by Heart of a Baker. Another easy recipe that makes a great breakfast. Make them ahead of time, you can then have your breakfast ready in 2 minutes by adding yoghurt, fresh fruits and honey in it.

Bonus, these recipes don't require a lot of equipments, which make the washing up a breeze.
