Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the ricotta, mascarpone, zest, sugar, cornflour and vanilla till smooth. (Mix with a hand balloon whisk).
  2. Cut the pastry into 4 equal strips.

  4. Fold the pastry over and press down with your fingers one side of the pastry where the edges touch together.
  5. Roll them up slowly and place them on a tray with baking paper not to close to each other as they expand when baking. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Note

These Ricotta Swirls are best eaten on the same day of baking. Recipe can be halved,  for less Swirls. They can also be made a day before and kept covered with baking paper in the fridge. Baste with eggwash before baking.
