Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Sheep Ricotta 400g
Sugar 100g
Vanilla Extract 8g

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ricotta: Begin by placing the ricotta cheese into a fine-mesh sieve, which should rest above a bowl to catch any liquid. Let the ricotta drain for about 1 hour to remove excess moisture. This step helps to create a creamier, smoother texture for your ricotta cream.

  2. Set the Ricotta: After the draining time, discard the collected whey and transfer the ricotta into a mixing bowl. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the ricotta through the sieve to ensure it’s fluffy and free of any lumps.

  3. Combine Ingredients: To the smooth ricotta, add the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated and you have a velvety, sweet cream.

  4. Ready to Use: Your creamy ricotta is now ready to be used for filling pastries, cakes, or served as a stand-alone dessert. Its versatile nature allows you to enjoy it in a variety of ways, from a simple dessert topping to a key component of more elaborate dishes.

Enjoy this deliciously smooth Crema di Ricotta for a taste of authentic Italian sweetness!
