Lactose-free Ricotta Cheese

If you avoided ricotta, because of its lactose content, now you can make your own with lactose-free milk! Tastes exactly the same, and it's remarkably easy to prepare.

Makes 2 servings

4 cups lactose-free milk (the more fat the better)
1/4 cup lemon juice

Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan.  While stirring, add lemon juice.  Continue to stir until curds form, about 1-2 minutes. (The lemon juice will cause the milk to separate, and you'll be left with delicious, fine-sized curds.)

Line a sieve with cheese cloth or a large coffee filter.  Pour curds into the sieve and let them drain.

Enjoy with toast or fruit, or in your favorite recipes.
