Ingredients
- 15 oz fresh ricotta cheese
- ½ cup whole milk
- 8 oz cream cheese , softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional: 2–3 teaspoon of powdered sugar or honey
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge about 15–20 minutes before you begin, so it softens slightly.
- If your ricotta is very watery, drain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth for 10–15 minutes to avoid a runny consistency.
Blend the mixture
- Add the ricotta, cream cheese, whole milk, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
- (Optional: Add sweetener at this stage if you prefer a sweeter taste.)
- Blend on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Portion out
- Spoon or pipe into jars or dessert cups.
- You should get about 4–6 portions, depending on the size of your containers.
Chill
- Cover the portions with plastic wrap or lids.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Serve
- Serve cold, straight from the fridge.
- You can enjoy it plain, or top with: Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries). A drizzle of honey or fruit syrup, or jam.
Notes
- For a more authentic French twist, try using fromage blanc instead of ricotta if you can find it.
- If you'd like it extra light and fluffy, you can fold in some whipped cream after blending.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
