4 Ingredient Fresh Ricotta

Not many ingredients work as well in both sweet and savoury dishes as ricotta. One minute you can be stirring it through fritters, the next you can be whipping up a cheesecake for dessert.

Milk, cream, vinegar, and about half an hour of your time is all you need to make a batch of fresh, creamy ricotta using your Thermomix® Appliance.

You're not going to believe how easy and foolproof this is! And trust me - once you make your own ricotta, it's hard to go back ricotta from the tub.

If you have one of our versatile Greek Yoghurt Strainers, it’s time to get it out. Otherwise, ricotta can be strained over a bowl using cheesecloth.
