SICILIAN CASSATA: RICOTTA CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 39m

Yield 10 servings as dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds fresh, whole milk ricotta
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup candied fruit with citron and angelica if possible
1 (10-inch) pre-baked sponge cake (homemade or store bought, pound cake may be used)
Optional: green marzipan for covering the finished cassata

Steps:

  • Place the ricotta into a fine mesh sieve and nestle this over a bowl, place into the refrigerator overnight to allow the excess moisture to drain out before proceeding with the cassata recipe.
  • Place the ricotta into the bowl of a mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until the curds smooth out. Mix the drained and beaten ricotta with 1 cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, chocolate chips and half the candied fruit. Set aside.
  • Lightly oil a 10-inch springform pan with canola oil. Slice the sponge cake very thinly so that the springform may be lined with it in an even layer. Line the sides and bottom of the pan with the sponge cake. Pour the ricotta filling into the cake-lined pan. Place a final layer of cake over the ricotta filling; this now creates the bottom to the cassata. Before serving, the cassata will be inverted onto this cake bottom. Refrigerate the cassata overnight to firm the filling.
  • Invert the springform pan on a wide platter. Open the hinge and remove the springform sides and bottom.
  • The cassata may now be finished by either covering with a heavy coating of the remaining powdered sugar or may be coated with a thin layer of green marzipan. Either way, the remaining candied fruits should be used to decorate the finished cassata. Slice thinly and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups unbleached white flour
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsalted butter
2 to 3 tablespoons very cold water
1 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons dark Jamaica rum
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 pound whole-milk ricotta
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • To make the pasta frolla, or shortcrust pastry: Sift the flour in a bowl. Add the egg yolks, sugar and salt. Stir with a fork. Cut the butter into six or eight pieces and add to the flour. Add two tablespoons of ice water and mix together quickly, using a wooden spoon or your hands, but be careful not to ''cook'' the pastry. Add more water if it seems necessary. When all the ingredients are well-blended, form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the almonds in the oven until they are light brown. Set aside to cool and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, place the rum and the raisins in a small saucepan. Add water to just cover the raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat and set aside for a few minutes to plump the raisins.
  • Beat the ricotta in a bowl until it is light and fluffy. Separate the eggs, and add the yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the sugar and beat well. Then fold in the almonds and the drained raisins.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture.
  • Roll out the pasta frolla as thinly as possible (between two sheets of aluminum foil or wax paper to prevent the pastry from sticking). Butter 12 individual three-inch tart tins or two 9-inch tins (for the larger pies, springform pans or pans with removable bottoms are the easiest to unmold). Line the tins with the rolled-out pastry. Add the ricotta mixture, filling the pastry cases to just below the top of the pastry. Place on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the insides are firm. The pies may be served lukewarm or cold.
