Lemon Ricotta Topping
Ingredients
- 1 small lemon peel, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp zest
Instructions
- Place the peel and heavy cream in a heavy-bottom saucepan on medium heat until steam starts to rise and small bubbles form on surface. Do not allow to boil.
- Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for about 30 minutes. Strain out the peel, transfer cream to another container and place into the fridge until thoroughly chilled (~3 hours).
- When the cream has chilled, in a bowl combine the ricotta, powdered sugar, zest, and juice. Stir until totally combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture and serve with pancakes.
