- For the filling, whisk the egg, ricotta, almonds, sugar and the brandy (or vanilla extract) in a bowl and set aside.

- Then spoon a dessert spoon amount of the ricotta mixture on top of this.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F or 180C and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Let them cool on a wire rack, don’t worry if they sink a little, that’s absolutely normal.
- Finish them off with a dusting of powder sugar.
- They taste best when served warm and can be re-heated if you are serving them later.
