can you freeze ricotta
1 If you have just a small amount of ricotta you wish to freeze, as in not enough to use in a recipe, you can blend it with fresh fruit, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries work well, a bit of lemon juice and some sugar, then pour into popsicle molds with a popsicle stick. Transfer the ricotta from the freezer and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. 2  Check the status of the defrosting by stirring. 3  If you can easily stir the cheese, then it's ready to use. 4  Do not thaw the cheese in a microwave, even on the defrost or low-power settings as this will ruin the texture.
