  1. This tasted good but I didn't like the consistency of the ricotta. However, I liked the orange flavour with the apples. I think if I were to make this again I'd use a different cheese, or no cheese at all. Come to think of it, it would be good with a cream cheese type sauce drizzled on the top after cooking. I served this warm paired with vanilla ice cream.
     
  2. I used this recipe for my Son, he was cooking for his Italian Theme Year 9 Home Economics Exam. He had to cook a Main Meal & Dessert with-in 45 mins. He made this recipe for his dessert....It turned out beautifully, was extremely easy & very very quick & tasty. (I dare you to stop at 1 serve). I recommend it to anyone from beginner cooks to experienced chefs. He served it with a generous dollop of extra thickened cream & drizzled it lightly with Strawberry sauce. "TRY IT"..... you won't be disappointed!!! Mish....Malanda FNQ...Australia :)
