Ricotta Pudding

This budino (pudding) takes its inspiration from Sicily where ricotta cheese, oranges and almonds are staple products. The pudding can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup diced dried apricots plus a few whole for garnish
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
  • Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the ricotta cheese through cheesecloth for several hours or overnight, then place in a medium size bowl. Add the orange juice and whip until smooth. Stir in the apricots and orange zest. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cream and sugar until the cream is stiff. Fold into the ricotta mixture. Divide and spoon the mixture into 4 goblets and garnish each with some of the slivered almonds.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I added a tiny pinch of almond extract. It complemented the orange flavoring.

have you ever cooked a Sicilian Cinnamon Rice Pudding. I just can’t find my grandma’s recipe. I figured if anyone new how to cook this pudding, it would be you.
