Baked Vanilla Ricotta Pudding

Baked vanilla ricotta pudding is a deliciously creamy and easy to make dessert recipe. With just 5 ingredients it’s naturally sweetened and takes hardly any time too!

Folks, I’m bringing a little bit of Italy into your homes today with my adaption of the classic Italian baked ricotta pudding.

Known as Ricotta Infornata it’s particularly popular in Sardinia and Sicily. It’s sometimes also called Ricotta al Forno.

I’ve added my own twist by sweetening it up with a little honey and flavouring it with vanilla.

This tasta ricotta dessert has a lovely light delicate flavour and a creamy texture.

Whilst I wouldn’t advocate having one of these every night, the calorie content of one of these small ramekin servings is only 320 calories.

You’ll find this Italian dessert cheap and quick to make.

It can be eaten hot or cold too.

In most UK supermarkets you can get small 250g tubs of ricotta cheese.

Both full fat and low fat ricotta cheese is usually available. I tried both and the full fat ricotta works best here.

The lemon juice you use can be from either from a bottle or freshly squeezed. Whatever you have to hand.

Use a good quality vanilla essence / vanilla extract to get the maximum flavour.

Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together until smooth. Then divide the mixture between two ramekin dishes.

Bake until the dessert has risen and become firm on top.

Allow to cool a little then serve topped with blueberries or berries of your choice!
