Tools

Preparation

Let’s start….

  • First, separate the yolks from the egg whites and set them aside. Put the egg whites with half of the sugar in the bowl and whip them until stiff peaks form.

    Now beat the yolks with the remaining sugar, and when they are well beaten, add the ricotta and then the lemon zest and juice. Lastly, add the whipped egg whites.

    Place the entire mixture, which will be very soft, in a pan with parchment paper, otherwise it will stick.
