Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for serving)
• 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Whisk until no lumps remain.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to coat the bottom.

Step 6

Spoon the cheese mixture over the batter, spreading it gently to create an even layer.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the cheese layer, covering it completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
