Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Amaretti cookies (crushed)
- 250 grams Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the low-fat ricotta cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold the mixture using a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in the crushed Amaretti cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the torta to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and elegance.
Slice and enjoy this light and delicious Low Fat Torta agli Amaretti!
