Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• powdered milk
• yogurt

Instructions

1. 1 Place four 10-ounce jars in a slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water up to 1/3 inch of the jar rims. Remove the jars and set aside.
2. 2 Cover the slow cooker and preheat on High for about 20 minutes.
3. 3 Meanwhile, pour milk and milk powder into a saucepan and whisk to dissolve. Heat over medium heat until just steaming and a thermometer reads 179 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place the bottom of the pan into a bowl of ice water. Cool milk mixture until the temperature drops to 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). Lift the pan out of the ice water.
4. 4 Measure about 1 cup milk mixture and pour into a bowl. Stir in yogurt until thoroughly blended. Return yogurt mixture to milk mixture in the pan. Pour milk-yogurt mixture into the 4 glass jars, filling up to 1/2 inch of the rims.
5. 5 Check that the water temperature in the slow cooker is no higher than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). If it is cooler, cover and allow to come to temperature. If it is too hot, uncover and turn off the slow cooker.
6. 6 Set filled jars in the warm water; the water level should be up to the level of yogurt in the jars. Cover with a folded dish towel and then with the slow cooker lid.
7. 7 Turn slow cooker off. Allow to set for 6 hours, keeping the water at 114 degrees F (46 degrees C) as best you can. Check the temperature with your thermometer after about 2 hours, taking care not to disturb yogurt. If lower than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C), turn the slow cooker to Warm for 10 minutes, then shut off again. Check temperature again at the 4-hour mark and repeat. Do not stir or poke yogurt at all during this time.
8. 8 Check yogurt after 6 hours by pressing gently on the top or tipping the jars to see if it is set; it is done when yogurt is firm and there is a thin layer of yellowish liquid on the top.
9. 9 Remove the jars from water and dry them off. Top with clean lids and place in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• lemon juice
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Pour milk into a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat milk until it registers 194 degrees F (90 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. 2 Stir lemon juice and salt slowly into warmed milk. Let stand until milk curdles, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. 3 Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour milk mixture carefully into the lined strainer. Let stand until most of the liquid has drained off the ricotta, about 15 minutes. Discard drained liquid.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• cornstarch
• white sugar
• semisweet chocolate chip
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and free of lumps; set aside.
2. 2 Combine remaining 2 1/2 cups milk with sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chocolate chips and salt; stir until chocolate is melted and pudding is smooth and thickened, about 7 minutes more.
3. 3 Pour pudding into 1 large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Place plastic wrap over the top of pudding to prevent skin from forming; smooth it gently against the surface. Refrigerate pudding for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• heavy cream
• salt
• white distilled vinegar

Instructions

1. 1 Line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a deep bowl or pot.
2. 2 Combine milk, cream, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally in a "figure eight" motion, until it reaches a temperature of 195 degrees F (90 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, this will be right before it starts to simmer. You'll see steam rising from the surface, and tiny bubbles forming around the edges of the pan.
3. 3 Turn off the heat, pour in the vinegar, and stir slowly in a "figure eight" motion for 3 or 4 seconds.
4. 4 Let the mixture sit, untouched, for 6 minutes.
5. 5 Carefully ladle into the cheesecloth-lined mesh strainer so that the dripping whey drains into the pot or bowl. Let the ricotta drain into the pot for between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on how soft or firm you want your cheese. The longer it drains, the firmer the texture will be once chilled.
6. 6 Grab the ends of the cheesecloth and lift the drained ricotta out of the strainer and place in a bowl. Let cool on the counter to room temperature, then wrap and chill thoroughly.
7. 7 Remove cheesecloth and serve. Ricotta usually needs an additional pinch of salt when serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract
• clove
• egg yolk
• cane sugar
• whipping cream
• nutmeg

Instructions

1. 1 Combine milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until spices become one with the milk, 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir from the bottom of the pot so the milk doesn't burn.
2. 2 Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cane sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale yellow, thick, and smooth.
3. 3 Remove milk mixture from the stove. Pour some of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue, pouring a little bit at a time and whisking, until all has been added.
4. 4 Pour the mixture back into the pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly with a spatula until eggnog thickens and becomes light beige in color, about 5 minutes; it should leave a slight film on the spatula. Remove from the heat.
5. 5 Pour whipping cream and nutmeg into a pitcher. Pour eggnog mixture into the whipping cream and mix with the spatula to combine. Place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight for best enjoyment. Stir before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• salt
• tapioca pearl
• egg yolk

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and tapioca pearls in a slow cooker until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the cooker to high setting, cover with lid, and cook for 2 hours. (If preferred, set on low setting and cook for 4 hours. Stir pudding occasionally during cooking.)
2. 2 Place egg yolks into a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Mix about 1 tablespoon of the hot pudding into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined; continue gradually mixing hot tapioca pudding into the egg yolks, slowly increasing the amount of pudding mixed in, until the yolks and pudding total about 2 cups. Slowly pour the yolk mixture into the pudding in the slow cooker until blended, whisking constantly until the egg yolks have thickened the pudding, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Place lid back on the cooker, and continue cooking until the pudding is your desired degree of thickness, on high setting for about 30 more minutes (or low setting for 1 more hour).
