On Tuesday I shared a homemade ricotta recipe that uses dry milk. So is it cost effective to make your own ricotta cheese? Yes. When I was at the store I priced 15 oz containers of ricotta to be around $1.80 on up in price. According to my calculations, to make the equivalent amount at home costs around $1.25, give or take a few cents. Using the current pricing of a can of dry milk from the LDS Home Storage Center ($8.60) the dry milk used in this recipe is about 67 cents according to my calculations, heavy cream is about 50 cents, salt 1 penny at most, vinegar about 6 cents. So a total of: $1.24.
