I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Weight Watchers. This is a 3 pts value. Use a combination of blueberries and raspberries for a patriotic July 4th dessert. Ingredients:
3 large eggs, beaten |
1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/3 cup sugar, divided |
24 reduced-fat vanilla wafers |
1 lb blueberries, washed, picked over and dried |
12 tablespoons original reddi-whip topping real whipped light cream |
1 lb raspberries, washed, picked over and dried |
Directions:
1. Place a roasting pan on middle rack of oven and fill it halfway up with water. (You will be placing twelve 2 1/4- X 3-inch custard cups in pan; water should not come more than halfway up the height of custard cups). Then preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Combine beaten eggs with ricotta cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 cup of sugar in a medium bowl until well blended.
3. Place a wafer on bottom of each custard cup; top each with 1 tablespoon of ricotta mixture. Arrange a single (but well-packed) layer of blueberries on top of ricotta mixture; top each with another wafer. Fill custard cups with about 2 tablespoons more of ricotta mixture so each wafer is completely covered.
4. Carefully place custard cups in roasting pan (careful not to scald yourself with hot water). Bake until top just starts to turn slightly golden, about 35 to 40 minutes; carefully remove custard cups from hot water and allow to cool on a rack, about 30 minutes.*.
5. Squirt about 1 tablespoon of whipped cream over each custard and top with a layer of raspberries; sprinkle remaining sugar over top. Yields 1 custard per serving.
6. Note: *These custards can be served warm or cold. To serve cold, cover cooled custards with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Top with whipped cream and raspberries just before serving.
7. Feel free to use any combination of seasonal berries in this recipe such as blackberries, golden raspberries and/or strawberries.
