In which we make ricotta on the stovetop, I (hopefully) convince you that ricotta is worth putting in the *make, not buy* category, and we use said ricotta for two delightfully summer-y recipes.
Thank you. I used to make ricotta and remember it being amazing compared to commercial but lost the recipe packet. Do you think it would work with lactose free milk and heavy cream (buttermilk is already virtually lactose free)? I can’t digest lactose and no one seems to make lactose free ricotta that is not non-dairy. I’m reluctant to use non dairy replacement products as they seem to be full of chemicals and family members are allergic to vegetable gum and other stabilizers.

Hi Alexandra - unfortunately, I've never tried that, so I'm just not sure. Sorry about that! If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
