The Easiest Homemade Cheese Ever: Ricotta

I get that cheese making seems super difficult and confusing. To me, ricotta is a great cheese to start at for a beginner. Plus that homemade ricotta will be miles farther in wonderfully rich flavor than the store-bought kind. It's a real win win.

It’s a travesty this guy only has 23k subscribers. This dude can cook.

I love your channel. So modern, clean, friendly, a little bit goofy too :). I also appreciate it a lot the fact that you mention the quantities in metric system. You are a very talented man. Keep up the good work! Thank you for the recipes and greetings from Romania.
PS: If you are curious one day, try the Romanian recipe for PAPANASI. It uses this cheese (we call it sweet cheese) and it's absolutely delicious <3

Don't forget to use the leftover whey! It makes bread dough really silky!

When I clicked onto this video, I was thinking I'm going to just pass time (since I'll just buy ricotta when I need it) but I'm majorly impressed. This was such a simple recipe but yet so elegant! I might make this one day and I hope you won't be sick for too long! I was eating chocolate and trying to imagine the ricotta and now I'm as bummed as when you were when you couldn't fit your bread into the toaster XD

Hi Joshua, can you please do more cheese making? Love your channel, thank you for creating fantastic content

Amazing! Did it 2 days in a row with toasted walnuts and honey and got rich, creamy and light desert. Great and easy recipe!

I LOVE this recipe! My family buys 4L milk and sometimes we just don't go through a whole lot so this recipe is a great way to use up a whole lot of milk! The riccotta is super versatile too so it's nice to have. Will be using this recipe a lot! Thank you 😊

Wow this is pretty similar to the process for making indian paneer. We traditionally use lemon juice as the cuddling agent, but we’ve used vinegar in my house before. We also usually let the water drain out for a few hours, if not overnight, resulting in a thiccer, more dense cheese.

I made this Saturday. You're so right! Homemade is FAR superior to store bought. I doubled the recipe and made enough for toast. GOOD!!!! thanks My first time making cheese too!!!!

[elenacarmeng]

I swear nothing soothes my soul more than this beautiful food b-roll... Can't wait to try this recipe!

[pamelahoesing]

Thank you for such an easy cheese!! The ricotta in the grocery store is nothing but white jello. So many non cheese ingredients!! Making cheese myself is an excellent solution!! Keep up the great videos!! Excellent!!

I must confess, I messed up the amount of cream: 1 l milk (organic 3, 5 % fat), 500 ml cream (30% fat) but the result was great!!!. Baked a super delicious Quiche using the whole lot of my home made ricotta-"cream"-cheese. Thanks for the tutorial. I will definitely make my own ricotta from now on and never buy it again here. I will still buy it (freshly made) when I am in Sicily though (simply the best and leaner).

this guy can literally make b-roll out of anything he wants. its actually insane.

[DTux]

Fun fact
I found this vid, literally ~4 days after I learned a way to make lebneh with yogurt...
And I agree with the tomato + cheese + bread. 👌 Perfect

[seanrush]

I’m miss this Josh. All about the food.
