Ingredients

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 2 cups ricotta, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when lifted.

  3. 3

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture using a spatula. Fold until no white streaks remain, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or a bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
