Ricotta cakes with passionfruit


Ricotta cakes with passionfruit

Back to work blues? This is the perfect breakfast to cheer yourself up.

Ingredients

  • Serves 4
  • Prep time 10 minutes
  • Cooking time 16 minutes
  • 11/3 cups (340g) fresh low-fat ricotta
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) light milk
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup passionfruit
  • Sliced banana, to serve

Method

  1. Combine 1 cup of ricotta, milk and egg yolks in a bowl. Sift flour and baking powder into ricotta mixture. Lightly fold together, using a metal spoon.
  2. Whisk eggwhites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently fold eggwhites through ricotta mixture, until just combined. Mix together remaining ricotta and 1 tablespoon of sugar, until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium. Wipe out excess with a paper towel. Cook 1/4-cup measures of batter on low for 2 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Meanwhile, combine passionfruit pulp with remaining sugar in a small serving jug. To serve, stack 2 ricotta cakes on a warm plate. Dollop with whipped ricotta and pour over passionfruit. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Ricotta cakes are ready to turn when surface bubbles are beginning to burst.
