- 1. Mix 1.5 c. of sugar with the Ricotta cheese and bake it in a 400 F oven for about 1hr and 15 min in a flat dish covered with aluminum foil. The cheese should have hard- ened and turned a pale brown.
- 2. Thicken the Half and Half by simmering over low heat for a long time.
- This is best done in a microwave; if a microwave is not available, do it over low heat and stir frequently. Thicken till the volume drops to around half of the origi- nal volume.
- 3. Add in the remaining 0.5 c. sugar, cardamon pods, bay leaf, vanilla and rose water (and any other flavouring which you may want) to the Half and Half. Heat for a few min.
- 4. After the cheese has been baked, cut it into 1 inch squares and add in to the warm thickened half and half. Cold for a few hrs in the fridge.
