Baked Ricotta Cakes with Berries

Eat to get more healthy – Dessert! Whoa! Doesn’t that sound as if Christmas’s come early ? Well I can guarantee that at least the Christmas feel would sure to come thanks to this Dessert. I have this recipe from a ‘Vegetarian’ cookbook and it is one dessert I keep making/eating without that worry of every spoon showing in my tummy or anywhere else I care not to see. Baked Ricotta with berry sauce is as delectable as it is elegant.

    Ingredients

  • generous 1 cup ricotta cheese ( part skim /fat free also works. I used part Skim for this one here)
  • 2 egg whites,beaten ( i skipped this for reasons mentioned in my previous posts)
  • 4 tbsp honey,plus extra to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups mixed fresh/frozen berries (I used unsweetened Frozen Mixed Berries Bag which had Blackberries,strawberries,Raspberries and Blueberries)

Method

Preheat oven to 350F. Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and break it with a spoon.

Add the beaten egg (if using), honey and vanilla extract and mix till the mixture is smooth.

Lightly grease 4 ramekins. Spoon the mixture into the ramekins and level the top.

Bake them for 20 min or until ricotta are risen and golden. ( usually if you are skipping out the eggs,it wont rise that much;so wait until it turns golden). Meanwhile to make the berry sauce, place the fruits in a saucepan with little water and heat it gently until softened. If using frozen fruits, you can skip the water.

Season it with honey if the sauce is too tart. I used about a tablespoon of honey and mixed it with the sauce.

    Hi Dhivya, can we use paneer instead of ricotta cheese in this recipe? I usually make fresh paneer put pf milk which is near-expiry and that is quite smooth…

    I am not really sure having not used paneer as Ricotta substitute! But I am sure there is no harm in trying! Anything with paneer has gotta to taste yum! and that too with home made one – priceless! If you try, it would be great if u could lemme know how it worked out! I might do the same in future :) –DK
