Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 4 shots Espresso
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 20 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully combined. Reserve the other half for layering and garnish.
Brew 4 fresh shots of espresso and allow them to cool slightly.
To assemble, divide the ricotta mixture evenly into serving cups or cappuccino mugs, filling them halfway. Pour 1 shot of espresso over each portion of the ricotta mixture for a layered effect.
Top each cup with a dollop or swirl of the reserved whipped cream to create a 'foam-like' cappuccino appearance.
Dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder and optionally grate a little dark chocolate over each cup for garnish.
Serve immediately with small spoons and enjoy this indulgent and creative dessert!
