Instructions

  1. Heat the milk with half the sugar and the cinnamon without letting it boil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar and the cornflour until smooth.
  3. Pour the hot milk over the yolks while whisking, then return everything to the pan.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, until the custard thickens and coats the spoon.
  5. Off the heat, add the vanilla and lemon zest, then let it cool slightly.
  6. Mix the fresh cheese with the warm custard until smooth and even.
  7. Divide into bowls, dust with cinnamon and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Variations and tips

Fruit version. Arrange a few slices of mango or banana on top before serving.

Using what's available here. Drained fromage blanc can replace the ricotta without changing the result.
