Ingredients

ricotta cheese

Ricotta is a fresh and unaged cheese made from the whey of cow's milk. It is also made with sheep, goat and water buffalo milk, but American versions often use cow's milk. The cheese is made of tiny white curds and retains a large amount of water. It is easy to mix and spread. Ricotta is a mild tasting cheese that is slightly sweet and salty.

powdered sugar

Powdered sugar, also called confectioners sugar is made by grinding the sugar granules until they are powdered. They are then mixed with a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping. The sugar is white, powdery and looks a lot like a powdered starch. It tastes sweet and starchy. Powdered sugar is used in baked goods and on baked goods, as well as in icings.

orange zest

Orange zest is the finely grated skin of the orange, a citrus fruit with a sweet and mildly tart flavor. The zest has none of the tartness but a floral flavor that tastes like the orange blossom smells, mixed with a gentle bitterness. When using zest, one should be careful to only remove the orange skin and not the bitter, white pith underneath. Orange zest is used to flavor desserts, such as cake batters and can be used in sauces and some savory items.
