Desserts Mediterranean Sicily, Italy
Sicilian Ricotta & Citrus Protein Dessert
Method
Place the ricotta and Greek yogurt in a medium bowl.
Add the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest and vanilla extract.
Blend or whisk until smooth, light and creamy.
Taste and add a little more lemon juice if you prefer a brighter citrus flavour.
Divide the ricotta mixture between four small dessert glasses or serving bowls.
Chill for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
Top with the chopped pistachios and fresh berries.
Finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon and fresh mint, if desired, before serving.
Chef's Tip
For the best Sicilian-style flavour, use both lemon and orange zest rather than relying on juice alone. The zest gives the dessert a more fragrant citrus character without making the ricotta cream too thin.
