A delightful dessert that combines the creaminess of ricotta with the gentle crunch of almond for a light and fluffy treat.

Scale

1 cup ricotta cheese

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

Sliced or slivered almonds for topping

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, sift together almond flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Drop dollops of the batter onto the baking sheet and top with sliced or slivered almonds.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

For healthier options, consider substituting part-skim ricotta or using alternative sweeteners.
