Cassata |
-
- Ingredients:
-
- Plain sponge cake
- 1.25 pounds ricotta cheese
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ounce Creme de Cacao (or Godiva or
Kahlua Liquor)
- 1 ounce dark rum (Meyer's is a good
one)
- 1 tablespoon shaved chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of orange, lime and
lemon zest
-
- Directions:
-
- Place the ricotta cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix well using a wooden spoon. When the mixture is smooth add the
shaved chocolate and fruit zests and continue to mix well.
-
- Pour into a square glass dish and line it with
sponge cake. Add the liquor(s) over it and coat it
(you may wish to use more liquor to drench it). Then pour ricotta cream
over cake and top with more cake slices.
-
- Refrigerate for at least 5 hours;
overnight is best. Flip over on a serving dish and sprinkle
with confectioners sugar.
That's it!
