Author: Pamela

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs separated
  • ¼ cup unbleached cane sugar or maple sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Grease a 9- or 9.5-inch pie plate or baking dish.
  • In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and ricotta and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and add the egg whites. Process for 30-60 seconds to blend well and to incorporate some air into the mixture

Notes

If you make this with almond milk ricotta, stir the blueberries into the pureed mixture before baking. Bake for 30 minutes or until set.
