RICOTTA CHEESE DESSERT RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Combine the ricotta, eggs and Parmesan in a large bowl, along with some salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup flour and stir; add more flour until the mixture forms a very sticky dough. Scoop up a spoonful of dough and boil it to make sure it will hold its shape; if it does not, stir in a bit more flour.
• Put the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it melts and turns a nutty brown color, add the sage. While it fries, drop the ricotta mixture by the rounded tablespoon into the boiling water, working in batches of six or so at a time so as not to overload the pot.
• When the gnocchi rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet. When all the gnocchi are done, toss, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• To prepare tiramisù , start with very fresh eggs: carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks 1 , remembering that to whip the egg whites well they must not contain any trace of yolk. Then whip the egg yolks with a hand mixer, pouring in only half of the sugar 2 . As soon as the mixture has become clear and frothy 3 ,
• and with the mixer still running, you can add mascarpone cheese, little by little 4 . When all the cheese is incorporated, you will have obtained a thick and compact cream; set it aside 5 . Clean the mixer attachments very well and beat the egg whites, pouring in the remaining sugar a little at a time 6 .  
• Whisk them into stiff peaks 7 ; you will know they're ready if the mixture does not move when you overturn the bowl. Take a spoonful of egg whites and pour it into the bowl with egg yolks and sugar and stir vigorously with a spatula, to thin the mixture 8 . Then proceed to add the remaining egg whites, little by little, stirring very gently from bottom to top 9 .
• Once ready, place a generous spoonful of cream on the bottom of a 12x8in baking pan and spread it evenly 11 . Then soak the ladyfingers for a few moments in the cooled coffee, which you will have sweetened to your liking (we added only 1 teaspoon of sugar) 12 ,
• first on one side and then the other. 13 . Arrange the soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream 14 , side by side, to create the first layer, over which you will spread part of the mascarpone cheese cream 15 .
• Make sure to level it carefully so that you have a smooth surface 16 . Continue to arrange the coffee-soaked ladyfingers 17 , then add another layer of cream 18 .
• Level the surface 19 , sprinkle it with unsweetened cocoa powder, and allow it to set in the fridge for a couple of hours 20 . Your Tiramisù is ready to be enjoyed 21 !
