Not one CONTAINING ricotta, but one TO MAKE ricotta.
Here's my disclamer, folks: I haven't tried it yet.  But I intend to.

Here's the link:  http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/07/how-to-make-whole -milk-ricotta-cheese.html

The most interesting part went something like this:

You may be tempted to squeeze the curds (to remove moisture), this is a rookie mistake.  It will make the ricotta more granular.

(Kind of sounds like the cheaper ricotta at the store.)
I am so addicted to Serious Eats.  Since my DS I just love to read about food and making food.
Don't cook much, but I love to read about it.

Anyway, thought I'd share.
Over and out.

That's it!  Just milk, lemon juice and salt.  I am going to try it.

I know, right?

I don't think I could screw this up if I tried.

I found a ricotta recipe on epicurious a while ago and have made so much of it that the whole process is committed to memory - I could probably make it in my sleep now.

The thing that tempts me is eating it while it's still warm and not saving it for later.

Wag more, bark less.

Mmm. I've lately become addicted to baked Ricotta, so I might have to try making my own.

Is your baked ricotta sweet?  I've been wanting something like that.

Yep. I have to apologize because don't have exact measurements. I basically take 1 egg and beat it. Then I mix in about 1/2 a small container ricotta, a generous helping of cinnamon and roughly a TBSP SF Davinci Vanilla syrup. If it seems too thick, I might add a splash of heavy cream.

Once it's all mixed together, I pour it into a ramekin that has been greased with butter. I take a portion of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and sprinkle them over top, then use the back of a spoon to push them gently into the top of the ricotta. (I do it this way rather than stirring them in so they don't all settle at the bottom.)

I bake it in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until light brown on top and darker brown around the edges. It is so yummy! Like a chocolate chip protein bread pudding.

ooh, that sounds good, I'm definitely trying it.  I think I'd like a few raisins in it instead of the chocolate chips, to pretend it's rice pudding.

thank you,
