Related to Ricotta
Cottage Cheese
Closest swap for sweet fillings: blend until smooth and drain off excess whey. Slightly wetter and tangier than ricotta (234 g vs 258 g per cup). Works straight in for lasagne and savoury bakes. See our Cottage Cheese converter.
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is denser and tangier (230 g vs 258 g per cup), with no curds. Best in baked cheesecakes where the smoother texture is welcome; loosen with a splash of milk for stuffed pasta. See our Cream Cheese converter.
Mascarpone
Much richer than ricotta (40% fat vs 13%) and smoother. Use in tiramisu, cannoli cream, and sweet fillings when you want the upgrade; skip in savoury bakes where ricotta's lean curd is the point. See our Mascarpone converter.
Goat's Cheese
Goat's cheese is tangier and lighter than ricotta (150 g vs 258 g per cup), with a more pronounced flavour. It works as a swap in salads, tarts, and savoury fillings, but the goaty tang makes it unsuitable in sweet dishes where ricotta is neutral. See our Goat's Cheese converter.
Feta
Feta is saltier and more crumbly than ricotta (150 g vs 258 g per cup), with a sharper briny flavour. They serve different purposes: ricotta is used for its mild creaminess in pasta and baking, while feta adds a salty punch in salads and savoury pastries. See what 1 cup of feta is in grams.
Paneer
Paneer is firm and dry where ricotta is soft and wet (226 g vs 258 g per cup). Use paneer when a recipe needs cubes that hold their shape; ricotta suits creamy baked fillings. See what 1 cup of paneer is in grams.
