This “is an old way of eating ricotta in Tuscany as a breakfast or merenda (an afternoon snack)”, explains chef and cookery school owner, Katie. “It is simple and effective as well as light to eat and not too sweet. I like to serve this in shot glasses for breakfast or after dinner.”
So no need to make a fancy pudding next time you have guests, just whip this up.
