Sorry I didn't explain properly JD. Apparently when a recipe refers to 1 MC ....it means up to the line ...so only 50mL whereas I assumed 1 MC = 100ml ....the full amount.

I always use the full measure too. Can't say I've had a disaster from doing that.

I have used the full measure in the past too and I don't think it's so bad for some recipes but in this case, there are only two ingredients in the recipe and I used double the amount of 1 ingredient, so it would affect it.

Anyway, I decided to try Helene's recipe this time and it was delicious!! Definitely want to make this again as it tastes so nice once refrigerated. Didn't like it warm though. The cream makes it! It is a bit fiddly trying to scrape out all the bits of ricotta from the nut milk bag so as none goes to waste....especially when the bag is hot! Next time I would also leave it for an extra 10 minutes to drain as I found there was still a fair amount of liquid in it.

Here is a photo before refrigeration:

Yum. I never have this problem with four milk guzzlers in the house. We freeze milk too. I much prefer mungalli or misty mountains too. But wish they made 3L. We buy 9l a week and even that runs out before the Saturday. The kids get mungalli or misty mountains as a treat. They love it.

I really need to try this as your ricotta looks fantastic. I always buy Fleurieu jersey milk from our farmers market, so I'd be off to a good start.
