Ingredients

  • 1 quart whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plain whole yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  • Line a colander with a quadruple layer of cheesecloth and set it over a bowl.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, whisk together all ingredients until smooth.
  • Bring to a simmer and heat until the mixture just begins to curdle.
  • Pour mixture into colander.
  • (For a drier ricotta with bigger curds, continue to simmer 1 to 2 minutes longer until mixture completely separates.)
  • Stop draining when mixture begins to look like ricotta, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how dry you like it.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store for up to two weeks.
