Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Butter, for greasing cups
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh whole milk ricotta cheese, drained for 2 hours to remove any excess liquid
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Blend the strawberries and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer. Cover and refrigerate. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • To make the pudding: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Lightly butter 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Arrange the cups in a large roasting pan. Melt the chocolate in a medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Set the melted chocolate aside. Blend the ricotta, 1/4 cup of sugar, egg yolks, orange zest, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until very smooth. Blend in the melted chocolate. Transfer the ricotta mixture to a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites in another large bowl with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar. Continue beating until semi-firm peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cups. Fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups. Bake until the pudding puffs slightly but the centers are still creamy, about 25 minutes (the pudding will become thick and creamy when cold). Allow puddings to cool slightly before removing from water bath. Remove the custard cups from the bath. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
  • Run a knife around the sides of the puddings to loosen. Invert the puddings onto plates. Drizzle the strawberry sauce around the puddings and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h47m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Butter, for greasing the muffin cups
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
3 eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 vanilla bean
2 cups fresh, or frozen and thawed, cranberries
1/2 cup water
1 large orange, zested and juiced
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra, as needed

Steps:

  • For the puddings: Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter 10 nonstick muffin cups and line the bottom of each cup with a disk of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, eggs, heavy cream, maple syrup, sugar, and salt. Using a paring knife, split the vanilla bean in half and scrape the seeds into the blender. (Reserve the seeded vanilla pod for the sauce.) Blend the mixture until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Remove the muffin cups from the oven to a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes (puddings will deflate during cooling). Refrigerate the puddings, in the muffin cups, for 2 hours. Using a thin, flexible spatula, carefully remove the puddings from the muffin cups and discard the parchment paper from the bottom of the puddings.
  • For the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the reserved vanilla pod, cranberries, water, orange juice, orange zest and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the mixture has thickened and the liquid has reduced by half, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod and sweeten with extra sugar, to taste, if necessary.
  • To serve: Arrange the puddings on small dessert plates and spoon the sauce over the top.

CHOCOLATE RICOTTA PUDDING

Soft and creamy ricotta can be used in appetizers, main dishes, and desserts like this chocolate pudding.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese (1 2/3 cups)

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat semisweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • In a food processor, process 15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese until smooth. Add chocolate; process until combined, scraping bowl as needed.
  • Divide among four dishes. (Can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day; serve at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta cheese is creamier and has a milder flavor than aged ricotta cheese. It will also yield a smoother pudding.
  • Roast the grapes until they are slightly caramelized. This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until they are starting to brown.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooking will make the pudding tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold. The pudding can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you are serving the pudding warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it doesn't burn your mouth.

Conclusion:

Sweet ricotta pudding with roasted grapes is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pudding is creamy and smooth, with a mild flavor that is complemented by the sweet and caramelized grapes. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
