Ingredients
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 4 shots Espresso
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 20 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 3
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully combined. Reserve the other half for layering and garnish.
Step 4
Brew 4 fresh shots of espresso and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 5
To assemble, divide the ricotta mixture evenly into serving cups or cappuccino mugs, filling them halfway. Pour 1 shot of espresso over each portion of the ricotta mixture for a layered effect.
Step 6
Top each cup with a dollop or swirl of the reserved whipped cream to create a 'foam-like' cappuccino appearance.
Step 7
Dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder and optionally grate a little dark chocolate over each cup for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately with small spoons and enjoy this indulgent and creative dessert!
