I bake bread with my leftover whey
You can freeze ricotta as well.
Can you use a natural vinegar instead of white distilled? Such as red wine or apple cider?
Lemon ricotta cookies. Most delicious recipe ever.
You can use whey to ferment vegetables, in baking, add it to smoothies, so many things. It’s very nutritious and filled with so many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and protein. Also ricotta is sooooo good and can be used in so many more ways than just lasagna.
Does the Whey have to be leftover from making a hard cheese? What about Chevre or Mozzarella? Can you use the whey from them to make ricotta?
Oh I love to add to it some sour cream and a splash of sugar and salt wrap in a soft dough (like a pelmini dough then steam or boil the dumplings, and if you are really headonistic fry these in butter. Voila veraniki like my baba made. Sound like a lot of steps but super easy and delish.
Whisk the ricotta into your scrambled eggs. Yummy or look up a recipe for baked ricotta
We make our own pasta and use the ricotta as filling for our ravioli. We make up large batches and freeze them in serving sized vacuum bags.
I recently tried to do this with whey from mozzarella, and it totally flopped. I was curious if it was cause it was from the mozzarella whey instead of a cultured whey, any thoughts? Thanks
you can make ravioli or even just a sweet dip for fruit or desserts
Here in North Carolina,raw A2-A2 milk is $16.50 a gallon through a herd share. Can l freeze the whey until I have the amount needed to make recotta??thank
Add honey to make a delicious dessert
Thanks for this…I was wondering if it was worth trying! I've been putting the whey on grain(letting the grain soak in it) then feeding that to our pig. Or chickens, or ducks, maybe even our milk cows! And it's good as a fungicide on fruit trees and plants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEH4Zezeqf4&ab_channel=StefanSobkowiak-ThePermacultureOrchard
Mine didnt work
Thanks for making your video. I have a lot of whey from yogurt making so I'm going to try this.
Cannoli filling. Spread on toast. In place of cottage cheese. Add favorite savory spices and place on appetizers. Loads more uses. Use your imagination. Add some heavy cream and mix to approximate cream cheese.
Cheesecake and other desserts, make flavored spreads for toast (great for breakfast or snacks), make appetizers for crackers, mix with fruit and put on granola.
Do you know exactly how much ricotta you get per gallon of whey?
I am happy to see that you decided to make ricotta. I will give you a tip, to save some time. When I put the cheese in the press, I immediately start warming up the whey, so it does not take too long to reach the temperature (medium heat). I also add 1 heaping tbs of salt in the warm whey, so you don't have to do that at the end, and the ricotta takes what it needs from there. If I want to be fancy, I also add a cup of cream to the whey and the final product is very creamy and flavorful, but that is optional. I never drain the ricotta more than 1h, 1h1/4 so it has a creamy consistency. You can drain it long if you know that you need it that way. I use ricotta for lemon ricotta cake, lasagna, mix it with herbs and make spreads, and many times I leave it as is, put some on a plate and pour a little maple syrup on it and a few pecans and have it like that as dessert. When the final whey cools off I still give it to the plants in the garden.
Something else you can do with the whey, if you want to experiment and when you are not too busy, is whey caramel. Put the whey (or part of it) in a slow cooker and reduce the whey for 24h until it is thicker. Add some sugar and butter to it and you have a perfect topping for desserts. see the link for inspiration:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZZvCNEKTBI
I make Ricotta Cheese balls and Cannoli's. I freeze the whey if I have room but otherwise I do what you do with it.
