EASY
Preparation: 30 minutes, plus overnight chilling time

Ingredients:
  • Woolworths Madeira cake loaf 2 x 280 g
  • sherry 4 T
  • fresh ricotta 750 g
  • cream 1 cup
  • icing sugar 3 T, sifted
  • vanilla bean paste 2 t
  • orange 1, zested
  • pistachios 100 g, chopped
  • dark chocolate 100 g, chopped
  • cocoa 1 T

Directions:
  1. Line a 2-litre pudding bowl with clingwrap. Trim the crusts from the cakes and discard. Use a large serrated knife to slice the cakes into quarters horizontally. Reserve one layer.
  2. Line the base and sides of the bowl with cake, overlapping it slightly, and press down gently. Brush the cake with sherry.
  3. Use an electric beater to beat the ricotta, cream, icing sugar and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the orange zest, pistachios and chocolate.
  4. Spoon the filling into the bowl and smooth the surface. Top with the reserved cake, trimming it to fit if necessary. Press down gently and cover with clingwrap. Chill overnight.
  5. Turn out onto a plate and dust with cocoa. Slice into wedges to serve.

Cook’s note: Freeze overnight for a frozen dessert.
