Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 250 g Ricotta cheese
  • 100 g Almond flour
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp Salt

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, almond flour, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pillow.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the ricotta almond pillows are golden brown and set.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter. These pillows are best served warm, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of fresh cream.
