Here's a 'ricotta like' recipe to try.
Ingredients
- 1L whole milk, fresh

Method
Gently mix the milk, cream, salt and lemon juice. Bring slowly to 90˚C. Do not disturb.
Turn off the heat and rest for 15 minutes. Gently ladle the curds into a ricotta basket and drain until it reaches your desired consistency.

Use the whey (find suggestions here) within a week or freeze for later.
