Ingredients

milk curdle (ricotta cheese)

- 2 L full-fat milk

- 1/3 cup vinegar

cream mix:

- 1 L full fat milk

- 1/3 cup sugar or sweetner

- 6 to 7 tosp cornstarch

- 2 tsp rose water

- 2 tsp orange blossom water

Instructions

  • In a pot, add 2 liters of full-fat milk. When it warms up after a couple of minutes, add vinegar and stir until it starts to separate.
  • Let it sit for a couple of minutes until the liquid becomes clearer. Then, strain the cheese and remove any excess water. Set it aside.
  • In another pot, combine 1 liter of milk, sugar, cornstarch, orange blossom water, and rose water. Mix everything together, then turn on the heat.
  • Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • When the mixture thickens, add the ricotta cheese that was prepared earlier. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a plate, cover it well, and refrigerate for a couple of hours before using or serving.
