Ricotta Cheese

Make the cheese base (previous recipe)

When the mixture is well drained, place it in a cheese mold or a perforated can with various holes

To put it in this shape, the mixture should still be quite wet and needs to be pressed with a weight

After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, you will have fresh ricotta cheese that can be cut

Note: This ricotta can also be prepared as follows: pour milk into a bowl and cover

Let it rest in a protected place until the next day or longer, until the milk has curdled

Pour 2 liters of boiling water over the curdled milk

Place it in a cheesecloth and let it drain

This process is slower because the milk takes longer to curdle

This is also the way to make American-style cottage cheese.
