Today, let’s prepare a dessert with cookie dough (also called biscuit dough). This is a soft, spongy dough that originated in France and is widely used in pastry making to prepare filled rolls and cake bases.
Our food blogger, however, has well thought of making small circles assembled together from the biscuit, in the midst of a cream filling made with ricotta and lime. To make this recipe even more original and tasty, the addition of two of our natural food colorings, obtained solely from extracts of fruits, vegetables and edible plants.
Purple and green meet white ricotta in an explosion of flavor and freshness. All you have to do is discover the ingredients and preparation, and replicate the recipe for friends and family.
Ingredients for 6 people
For the cookie:
- 2 yolks
- 3 egg whites
- 60 g of powdered sugar
- 30 g of granulated sugar
- 80 g Soft Sweet Flour
- 3 g of Purple Taste & Color
- 3g Taste & Color Green
For the cream:
- 200 g of cow ricotta cheese
- 70 g of powdered sugar
- the zest of a lime
For decoration:
- fresh mint
- lime zest
Preparation
Begin, by devoting yourself to making the cookie dough (or biscuit).
Divide the 80 grams of flour into 2 bowls, add the food coloring to each and mix.
In 2 other bowls, however, beat egg whites with powdered sugar and yolks with granulated sugar.
Combine the 2 mixtures, stirring gently with a kitchen spatula.
Pour the resulting whipped mixture into the two bowls with the flour, taking care to divide it into equal parts.
Mix from the bottomup, to avoid disassembling the mixture, until 2 mixtures are smooth.
At this point, line 2 baking sheets with baking paper, pour the mixtures inside, and level them with a spatula to a thickness of ½ cm.
Bake in a 160° Coven for about 15 minutes. After the required time has elapsed, bake, let cool and remove the baking paper.
Cut the cookie with a cookie cutter 5-6 cm in diameter and form small disks.
Now, all you have to do is make the ricotta and lime cream!
Process the ricotta cheese with the powdered sugar and lime zest.
Stuff the “green” discs with the resulting cream and cover them with a “purple” disc. Finally, decorate with a small amount of cream, a fresh mint leaf and a thin julienne of lime zest.
