Serves: 10

Print this Recipe


   12 ounces ricotta cheese (about 1 1/3 cups)
   3 tablespoons sugar
   2 cups whipped cream
   1/4 cup orange liqueur or frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
   1/2 teaspoon orange rinds grated
   1/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
   3 tablespoons orange rinds finely chopped candied
   24 lady fingers split
   3 tablespoons powdered sugar


In a small mixer bowl at low speed, beat ricotta cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of the whipping cream, orange liqueur or juice, and orange rind until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and candied orange peel; set aside.

Line bottom and sides of a 1 1/2 -quart bowl or mold with a layer of ladyfinger halves, trimming as needed. Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the bottom; cover with one-third of the remaining ladyfingers. Repeat twice, trimming ladyfingers as needed. Press top gently to level surface. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

To unmold, carefully run a metal spatula around inside of bowl. Unmold onto a serving plate.

In a small mixer bowl at medium speed, beat remaining 1 1/2 cups whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost and decorate cassata with whipped cream. Garnish with crystallized violets if desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours. Cut with a sharp knife.
