Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 tsp unflavored gelatin ( less than 1 envelope)
1 1/2 tbsp whole milk
1 whole large egg
1 large egg yolk
3 tbsp sugar
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/3 cup chopped mixed fine-quality candied fruit ( preferably orange peel , pineapple , and citron)
1 oz grated fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened )
1/2 tsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 tsp finely grated fresh orange zest
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
garnish: chocolate dust and chopped candied fruit

Directions:

Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan and let soften.
Beat together whole egg, yolk, and sugar in a small metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer until blended. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and beat with mixer until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. (Mixture should mound when dropped from beaters.) Remove bowl from heat.
Heat milk over low heat, stirring, just until gelatin is dissolved, then beat into egg mixture.
Blend ricotta in a food processor just until smooth. Add fruit, chocolate, zests, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and pulse until blended, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in one third of egg mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining egg mixture gently but thoroughly.
Beat cream in a bowl with cleaned beaters just until it holds soft peaks, then fold into ricotta mixture gently but thoroughly. Spoon into lightly oiled ramekins and chill, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours.
Run a knife around edge of each ramekin, then dip ramekin into a bowl of hot tap water 10 seconds. Invert a plate over each ramekin, then invert pudding onto plate.
Cooks' notes: · The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked. If salmonella is a problem in your area, you can use pasteurized eggs such as Davidson's. · Puddings can be chilled up to 2 days. · Make chocolate dust by finely chopping 1/2 oz bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) in a food processor. Shake it in a sieve over puddings after unmolding them onto plates, or over plates before unmolding puddings. · Oil your knife before chopping the candied fruit to prevent sticking. * Available through Fauchon (866-308-5919) or The Baker's Catalogue (800-827-6836).
