A Make + Lifestyle Blog
I was driving home from work this week and craving a sweet frozen treat. I knew I wanted something light and quick when the idea to make a five-minute nice cream hit me.
With a half opened carton of almond milk in the fridge and a bag of mango chunks in the freezer, I had all of the ingredients I needed.
I’ve been dreaming of making cheese for years, but I’ve never felt ready to dive in until recently. After sharing my cheese-making dream with a friend, she mentioned that she often makes ricotta and it takes her no time at all. That small reassurance did just the trick. A few days later, I bit the bullet and made my first batch of cheese, ricotta cheese!
What surprised me the most was how easy fresh, homemade ricotta cheese is to make! In 20 minutes, I had a bowl full of fluffy, white ricotta cheese. I was so excited that I couldn’t even wait for the cheese to cool and kept shoveling spoonfuls into my mouth. Yes, it was quite the sight.
