Tuscan Pudding
Puddings are very popular throughout Tuscany and all of Italy. Unlike the American "Jell-O" pudding, Italian puddings are quite different and come in a wide variety of flavors and textures. This pudding is very traditional in Tuscan cuisine and makes a great finale to almost any Tuscan dinner. This pudding is eaten both uncooked and cooked and both variations are very good. Farmer's cheese or homemade soft cheese or yogurt cheese can be used in place of the ricotta with excellent results.
12 ounces ricotta cheese
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of one small lemon
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 ounces ground blanched almonds
1 ounce minced candied orange peel
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a medium mold or baking dish. Beat the ricotta cheese and egg yolks together until very smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest and beat well until incorporated. Add the raisins, golden raisins, almonds, and orange peel. Mix well. Pour into the prepared mold. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve at warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Makes 6 servings.
