Today we bake tasty little cakes with amaretto and ricotta in a glass. On top we give fine almond flakes and dust it with powdered sugar. And soon we have a delicious little dessert to enjoy :)
Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F top/bottom heat (160°C/320°F convection oven).
Cut the vanilla bean open lengthwise with a sharp knife. Then carefully scrape out the pulp of the vanilla bean with the tip of the knife.
Crack the eggs and put them in a mixing bowl with the sugar and beat until foamy.
Then add the ricotta, curd, cornstarch, vanilla bean pulp (or vanilla sugar) and amaretto and mix thoroughly.
Grease the glasses with a little softened butter. Then fill with ⅔ of the mixture and add flaked almonds if desired. Then place in the oven (middle shelf) for baking for about 30 minutes.
Once they have taken on a nice golden brown color, remove and let cool briefly. Finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve lukewarm.Buon appetito!
