Homemade Creamy Ricotta

Ingredients:
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
lemon juice, raw
salt, table
cream, whipped, cream topping, pressurized

Directions:
Line a large fine-mesh metal strainer with a triple layer of cheesecloth large enough to hang over the edges.
Set over a 8-cup measuring cup.
Pour milk into a large, very wide saucepan and heat over high.
Stir often until milk become steamy and frothy around the edges or reads 185F on a thermometer, about 6 minutes.
Turn off heat.
Stir in lemon juice and salt.
Let stand until the liquid turns a yellowish colour and milky-white curds float to the surface, about 2 minutes.
Gradually pour mixture into the prepared strainer.
Let sit, stirring curds very gently once or twice, until about 7 cups of liquid has drained off, about 5 minutes.
Discard liquid.
Transfer cheese into a bowl.
Refrigerate until chilled.
Just before using, stir in cream.
Ricotta will keep well, refrigerated, up to 1 week.
