• 500g La Casa Del Formaggio Traditional Ricotta
• 80g brown sugar
• 1 orange, zested
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 lime, zested
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground star anise
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  

1. Line a fine sieve with a layer of damp muslin or a clean Chux cloth, allowing it to overhang, and place the lined sieve over a large bowl.
2. Place ricotta inside muslin-lined sieve and leave to drain overnight. This makes your mix firmer and easier to work with.
3. Mix all ingredients evenly and then spoon into a plastic lined bowl. Cover with a weighted plate and press overnight in the refrigerator, or if you’re feeling lucky serve it straight away with fresh seasonal fruits and a wafer biscuit for some crunch.
4. Note: For another dimension in flavor and texture, try adding dried mixed peel, dried cherries or dried cranberries
