Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 250 g ricotta cheese
  • 100 g almond flour
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50 g all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, almond flour, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into small portions and gently roll them into pillow shapes.
  • Place the formed pillows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and soft to the touch.

Serving

  • Allow the ricotta almond pillows to cool slightly before serving.
  • Dust with a little extra powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of lemon zest to the dough. Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to prevent a watery dough. Do not overmix the dough as it can make the pillows tough. Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of coffee or tea.
