Want a lighter version?
If you are avoiding egg yolks, we do also make an alternative version using 2 egg whites in place of the full egg. Just whip the egg whites until stiff and add to the other ingredients. It makes for a more soufflé-like, lighter version.
We buy mixed weight eggs, if I need a large egg I will weigh the largest ones and choose the heaviest egg for this recipe.
Recipe FAQ's
Ricotta is a fresh whey cheese mostly made from cow’s milk. It is light and creamy with a slightly grainy texture.
Ricotta was traditionally made from left over whey from the production of other cheeses. These days cheese producers use fresh whole milk rather than the leftover liquid whey to make Ricotta.
It can be used on its own or in sweet and savoury dishes.
Frozen fruit can work brilliantly as a substitute for fresh fruit. Although for this dish I would thaw the raspberries as the extra water may impact on the ricotta mixture.
If you find your ingredients aren’t combining well by hand, do use an electric hand mixer very briefly to fully blend into a smooth consistency. A quick whizz of 30 seconds will make a super smooth mixture.
