Yield: 1 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 pounds | Ricotta Cheese |
2 quarts | Half and Half |
2 cups | Sugar |
5 | Cardamon pods |
1 | Bay leaf |
1 teaspoon | Vanilla |
Rose Water To taste (opt.) |
1. Mix 1½ cups of sugar with the Ricotta cheese and bake it in a 400o F oven for about 1hr and 15 minutes in a flat dish covered with aluminum foil. The cheese should have hard- ened and turned a pale brown.
2. Thicken the Half and Half by simmering over low heat for a long time.
This is best done in a microwave; if a microwave is not available, do it over low heat and stir frequently. Thicken until the volume drops to around half of the origi- nal volume.
3. Add the remaining ½ cup sugar, cardamon pods, bay leaf, vanilla and rose water (and any other flavouring that you may want) to the Half and Half. Heat for a few minutes.
4. After the cheese has been baked, cut it into 1 inch squares and add to the hot thickened half and half. Cool for a few hours in the fridge.
