How Do You Defrost Ricotta Cheese Quickly?
Ricotta cheese can be defrosted quickly by placing the frozen cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it for 30-second intervals on the defrost setting until it is thawed. Alternatively, the frozen ricotta cheese can be placed in a sealed plastic bag and submerged in a bowl of lukewarm water for about an hour. After defrosting, mix the ricotta cheese well with a fork to ensure a smooth consistency before using it in a recipe.
