A quick and easy dessert from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast using amaretti cookies, which are sweet, crispy Italian macaroons made with almond paste.
1 container (15 oz) part-skim ricotta
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp instant espresso
4 amaretti cookies
Combine ricotta, sugar, and espresso in a food processor and puree until very smooth, at least 1-2 minutes. Pour into 4 dessert cups or glasses and chill, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day (recommendation: 1 hour).
For serving, crumble an amaretti cookie over each dessert.
This one was tough to puree in a blender, so the texture wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked. Also, make sure the dessert is well chilled.
