These adorable baked puddings are an irresistible dessert that will surely impress you and friends and family. The ricotta filling first comes together in minutes thanks to the food processor; as well as the ricotta, it's made with sugar, flour, egg yolk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beaten egg whites are then gently folded into the ricotta mixture, which causes them to become light and fluffy while baking in the oven. The spreadable fruit and fresh grapes are warmed through quickly thanks to using the microwave, and is the ideal topping for this pudding. Try with other fruits if you're looking to mix things up a bit.

Ingredients

Part skim ricotta cheese

1½ cup(s)

Sugar

4 Tbsp

All-purpose flour

2 Tbsp

Egg

1 large egg(s), separated

Lemon zest

½ tsp, grated

Vanilla extract

½ tsp

Egg whites

1 large

Spreadable fruit

⅓ cup(s), Concord grape variety

Grapes

½ pound(s), red or green seedless variety, removed from stems

Cooking spray

6 spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 6 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine ricotta, 2 tablespoons of sugar, the flour, egg yolk, lemon zest, and vanilla in food processor and puree. Transfer to large bowl.
  3. With electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold beaten egg whites into ricotta mixture, in three additions, until no streaks of white remain. Spoon evenly into prepared ramekins. Place ramekins in shallow baking pan and place in oven. Fill pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Place baking pan on wire rack and let puddings cool slightly.
  5. Just before serving, place spreadable fruit in medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on High until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in grapes and microwave on High until grapes are warm, about 1 minute.
  6. Spoon grape mixture over puddings and serve at once.
  7. Per serving: 1 pudding and about 2 tablespoons grapes
