Toast with homemade ricotta and strawberry jam FAQ:
Making homemade ricotta takes about 45-50 minutes in total. This includes 15-20 minutes for curd formation, and an additional 30 minutes for draining the curds after cooking.
Store leftover ricotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The strawberry jam can also be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or you can freeze it for longer storage.
Yes, you can substitute whole milk for 1% milk for a creamier texture, but it's recommended to use a milk with at least some fat content for the best results. Non-dairy milk may not yield the same texture.
The jam is thick enough when it coats the back of a spoon and holds a line when you run your finger through it. It should also have a glossy appearance after cooling.
A hearty bread such as sourdough, whole grain, or artisan bread works best for this recipe as they hold the ricotta and jam well, enhancing the texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality milk and cream for the best-tasting ricotta cheese.
- Make sure to stir the milk mixture gently and continuously to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Allow the ricotta cheese to drain thoroughly for a creamy yet firm texture.
- Choose fresh strawberries for the jam to achieve the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sugar in the jam according to your preference for sweetness.
- Add a pinch of salt to the ricotta mixture to enhance the flavors.
- Toast your bread until golden brown for the perfect contrast to the creamy ricotta and jam.
- Store any leftover ricotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
