Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
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.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Whisk until no lumps remain.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to coat the bottom.
Spoon the cheese mixture over the batter, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
Pour the remaining batter over the cheese layer, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
