Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Full-fat ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Set aside.
In a blender, combine 4 eggs, 2 cups of whole milk, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the filling by combining 1 cup ricotta cheese, 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Whisk or beat with a mixer until creamy and smooth.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish to create the bottom layer. Spread the cheese filling evenly over this layer.
Pour the remaining batter over the cheese filling, ensuring it fully covers the surface.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dish from the fridge and discard the plastic wrap or foil.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Serve warm with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
