Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon Boiling water
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 15 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth using a whisk or an electric hand mixer on low speed.
Add the dissolved coffee mixture to the ricotta mixture and stir well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta and coffee mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
Divide the mixture evenly into four serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Lightly sift the cocoa powder over the top of each serving as a garnish.
Optionally, top with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
Refrigerate the Coffee Ricotta Creams for at least 1 hour to chill and set slightly before serving. Enjoy!
