Ingredients:
½ kg of ricotta cheese and ½ kg of cream cheese, both soft and at room temperature.
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of toasted bread crumbs
2 cups of heavy cream
1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of toasted almonds
6 eggs
3 teaspoons of flour
½ teaspoon of baking powder.
Preparation:
Blend the cheeses together and strain them. Whisk the eggs with the vanilla until frothy. Add the cream, sugar, almonds, flour, and baking powder, and mix well until smooth.
Place half of the breadcrumbs in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Pour the cheese mixture over the breadcrumbs, spreading it evenly. Bake at a low temperature without opening the oven for one hour. After one hour, turn off the oven and let the flan cool inside. Serve hot or cold. (Makes 12 servings).
