Tiramisu with light ricotta
Description
Ricotta tiramisu is a more delicate version of the classic tiramisu . The only difference between the two desserts is the use of ricotta in the cream, replacing the mascarpone.
The result will be an equally sweet and delicious dessert, but with a lighter flavor. The process and other ingredients are the same as for traditional tiramisu.
Here’s what you need to do to prepare this alternative version of tiramisu.

- 3 Add the well-drained ricotta to the egg mixture and mix from bottom to top with a spoon to incorporate it, then add the cream by spoonfuls.
- 4 Now you can assemble your dessert. Dip the ladyfingers in the sweetened coffee, being careful not to over-soak them. Arrange a first layer of biscuits on the bottom of a baking dish. Then, pour some of the cream over them and spread it out to completely cover them. Then, arrange a second layer of biscuits and spread the remaining cream on top.
- 5 Dust the ricotta tiramisu with bitter cocoa and chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
