Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups milk
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Carefully spread the cheese filling over the batter in an even layer.
Pour the remaining batter on top of the cheese filling, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.
Dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish before serving warm or at room temperature.
