Description
An easy take on an Italian classic dessert.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces whole milk ricotta (fresh if you can find it)
- 1 tablespoon Frangelico liquor or anise extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
- 6 Amaretto cookies, crumbled plus additional for serving
- 2 teaspoons cacao nibs, sweetened or unsweetened plus additional for serving
- 1 shot of Frangelico per glass
- 1 shot of espresso per glass
Instructions
In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, Frangelico (or anise if using), vanilla extract and sugar, if using. Whip vigorously with a wire whisk until light and fluffy. Stir in the crumbled Amaretto cookies and the cacao nibs. (If you can’t find cacao nibs, just smash up a dark chocolate bar.) Stir until incorporated.
Place a large scoop in each glass. Top with the shot of Frangelico and the shot of espresso. Sprinkle with some more cacoa nibs and crushed cookies and serve!
