Hi Kezia

Thanks for your question.

I’m not sure you would get the richness of this particular Ricotta but you would certainly get Ricotta cheese. This particular recipe is one that is a meant to be much richer and creamier than the Ricotta which is normally made from whey. Many other ‘normal’ Ricotta recipes use full cream milk though so you are absolutely on the right track to getting some delicious Ricotta cheese : )

Hi, would this work using an extra cup of full cream milk instead of the cream?

Thanks for your comment Louise.

I know many people have little luck getting much in the way of Ricotta from whey (which is due to the amount of proteins left in the whey) so this recipe should ensure you get something for your efforts.

Let us know in the comments how it works out for you!

Interesting, wish I read this two days ago! I was making Ricotta from left over whey. For some reason I have never been able to master this simplest of cheeses. It always ends up a disaster. 2 gallons of whey and I only ended up with about 1 cup of Ricotta. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I only have about 5 recipes for the stuff. Camembert and blue? Bring it on, ricotta, a complete failure every time.
