Fresh Ricotta

Ingredients:
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat
lemon juice, raw
salt, table

Directions:
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.
