Chocolate Ricotta Toast Recipes

CHOCOLATE RICOTTA PUDDING

Steps:

• This is a serious childhood throwback for me. I have a memory of my mother taking this out of the oven and I could smell the chocolate and the almonds more than anything else. So delicious.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Use the butter to thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of a 1 quart loaf pan.
• Add the 2 whole eggs to a small pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. When the water boils, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for 6 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pot and run them under cold water to stop them from overcooking.
• In a medium bowl add the ricotta and whisk until free of lumps. Add the sugar, rum, chocolate and almonds and stir to blend. Set aside.
• Peel the hard-boiled eggs and put the yolks through a small strainer to break them into small bits. Add the egg yolks to the ricotta mixture.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the 2 egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture with a rubber spatula, retaining as much fluffiness as possible. Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan. Put the pan into a shallow water bath and bake, undisturbed, for 50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and the water bath. Allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with a touch of lemon zest and some chocolate over each individual portion.

RICOTTA TOAST FOR EVERY SEASON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Whip the ricotta: Add the ricotta, the olive oil, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream to the bowl of a food processor and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the mixture is completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of heavy cream to reach your desired consistency. The whipped ricotta will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using to make the toasts, transfer the ricotta to a piping bag and cut an opening about ½ inch from the tip. You should have about 3⅓ cups.
• Toast the bread: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Arrange the sourdough on a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking sheet and generously drizzle with the olive oil. Toast for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crusty.
• Make the winter citrus toast: Preheat the oven to 500˚F(260˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the orange and blood orange on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the oranges are caramelized and charred in some places.
• Pipe the whipped ricotta onto a slice of toasted sourdough. Top with the caramelized oranges, drizzle with the pomegranate molasses, if using, and garnish with pomegranate seeds, mint leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
• Make the spring greens ricotta toast: add the arugula, herbs, walnuts, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the pesto to your desired consistency.
• Pipe the whipped ricotta onto a slice of toasted sourdough. Top with the peas, radish, and pesto. Garnish with more fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of flaky salt and black pepper.
• Make the summer berry ricotta toast: in a medium bowl, combine the berries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, vanilla, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the berries well, then let macerate for 30 minutes, until the berries release some of their juices.
• Pipe the whipped ricotta onto a slice of toasted sourdough. Spoon the macerated berries and some of their juices on top. Garnish a drizzle of balsamic glaze and basil leaves.
• To make the fall ricotta toast, pipe the whipped ricotta onto a slice of toasted sourdough. Top with the sliced pear, honey, and thyme and garnish with flaky salt and black pepper.
• Enjoy!
