Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the self-raising flour and finely ground almonds. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Mix in the lemon zest, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the flour and almond mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in the buttermilk and light sour cream until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the roughly chopped white chocolate pieces into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the budino from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, you can serve the Lemon and White Chocolate Budino as is or with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for garnish.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated lemon zest for the most vibrant flavor.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, especially the butter, eggs, and ricotta cheese, to achieve a smooth batter.
- Don't overmix the batter; combine the ingredients just until they are incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold the white chocolate chunks into the batter gently to ensure even distribution without deflating the batter.
- Bake the budino in a water bath to ensure even cooking and to prevent the dessert from drying out.
- Allow the budino to cool down completely before removing it from the mold to maintain its shape.
Your Lemon and white chocolate budino is now ready to be enjoyed. The combination of zesty lemon and luscious white chocolate creates a perfect flavor harmony that is sure to impress your family and friends. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest for an extra touch of elegance. Buon appetito!
