Sweet baked ricottas with chocolate and almonds

The sweet baked ricottas are an anti-panic recipe. That recipe you will need when uninvited or unexpected guests will land at your home and you have nothing to prepare a cake, no flour, no butter, no milk, nothing!!!
To prepare the sweet baked ricottas you just need three common ingredients: ricotta, eggs and sugar.
Then you can add everything you want, or that your pantry offers, I had almonds and milk chocolate, but you can easily add other flavours: nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, dark chocolate, white chocolate, lemon zest, mixed berries, vanilla, cinnamon, or everything you want….just don’t add…broccoli for example 😛
Or if you don’t have anything else, they will be damn good also using the three basic ingredients.
They are ready in 3 minutes, they cook for 30 minutes, in 35 minutes you will have a dessert ready to be eaten. They are good served warm, with the chocolate still melted.
Prepare them in a nice small casserole so you can serve them to you guests inside the baking dish.
The ricottas will rise a lot in the oven, and the chocolate will probably run long the side of the casserole, don’t worry! They will look country, rustic and home-made (of course they don’t look so much elengant and chic :P), and that’s a warranty of freshness and good quality.
The sweet baked ricottas are a gluten free recipe, so they are perfect for celiacs.
When you will plunge your spoon inside those ricottas you will find a creamy cake with melted chocolate inlays and a crunchy almondy surface.
Simply amazing.

Milka brownie cake with toffee and hazelnuts

Milka brownie cake with toffee and hazelnuts

I know, i have tons of brownies recipes in my blog (english translations will come, sooner or later) but i can’t resist!!!
brownies are among my favourite cakes!
the brownie cake takes inspiration from this Milka chocolate bar, i bought two bars about six months ago. i ate one of them in 3 evenings, then assaulted from guilt i promised myself i would use the other to make a cake, so i put it into a closet and forgot about it for half a year.
yesterday i discovered it again, it was going to expire, so i decided to make a brownie cake.
this wonderful bar is made from 5 layers. yes, you read it right! 5 layers!!!
milk chocolate, white chocolate, toffee, hazelnuts and milk chocolate again. 2 centimeters thick, half meter long. 300 gramms of lightness.
