Gradually add semolina, in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes or until smooth and thick. Transfer to a shallow dish to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, using electric beaters, beat eggs and stevia until combined. Beat in ricotta until smooth. Slowly beat in semolina mixture until smooth and combined. Stir in juice.
