  • 15 ml (1 Tbsp) brandy
  • 500 g ricotta cheese or full-cream cream cheese
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon mixed with 15 ml (1 Tbsp) sugar, or icing sugar

  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together.
  3. Beat in the flour and add the honey, lemon juice and brandy.
  4. Fold in the cheese and whisk until thick and creamy.
