I’ve used the ricotta for things besides Italian food. It is very mild flavored.

I love a thick (Greek yogurt) and I think I will make mine overnight. We have a recipe for Greek yogurt and yogurt cheese (which is amazing and I could just eat tons of it!)

I imagine would be really great with goat milk as well. You will have to let me know… I would love two mini milk goats… now if only the city would say, yes! 😉

I was never successful making yogurt until I tried the crockpot method which I found to be very forgiving. I could “forget” about the heated milk for up to an hour in the crockpot, and it would still make good yogurt.

I’ve been thinking about making ricotta and maybe some of the simpler cheeses. My kids love cheese, and I’d like to reduce our use of store-bought cheese where I can.

I haven’t made it in a crockpot before. I actually never use my crockpot since we are off-grid. Hubby doesn’t like to use all that energy for a slow cooker. 🙂

Have you ever made it in the crockpot? I have a recipe, but haven’t attempted it yet.

Thanks, Jennifer for the tip. My Easiyo yogurt maker works on this same principle. It is akin to a thermos but the yogurt it made seemed to be about as thick as kefir instead of yogurt. Maybe it was something I did…

It’s great for making a couple of cups of yoghurt and saves worrying about leaving a heating pad plugged in overnight.

Joane,

You can use cow’s milk, too.

Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
