Ingredients

6 large eggs, at room temperature

3 cups whole milk ricotta cheese, about 1 1/2 pounds

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon orange zest, grated

1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

1 tablespoon orange liqueur

2 cups milk

1 cup water

3/4 cup Farina, uncooked

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup candied citron, finely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9- by 3-inch springform pan.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Beat in the ricotta, sugar, orange and lemon zests, and the liqueur.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the farina in a fine stream, stirring constantly. Stir in the salt and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until thick and creamy.

4. Stir the cooked farina into the ricotta mixture, then stir in the citron. Pour into the prepared pan.

5. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

6. To serve, run a thin-bladed knife around the outside edge of the cake. Remove the springform sides, and serve the pudding/cake off the base. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Store in the refrigerator.
