Ingredients
1 package (1.1 lbs/490g) puff pastry (2 sheets)
3/4 cup sliced almonds
8oz (230g) whole milk ricotta cheese
8 oz (230g) cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cinnamon
honey for drizzling on top (optional)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
granulated sugar for garnish
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature.
Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract and beat together until smooth.
Assemble the Braid:
Lightly flour your work surface and roll each puff pastry sheet out to about 12 by 15-inches.
Place each puff pastry sheet onto a parchment paper.
Cut an even number of diagonal slits on each side of the pastry (see video).
Divide the filling between the two pastries anad spread it down the center of each pastry. Sprinkle some cinnamon over the filling.
Fold the diagonal strips of dough in a criss-cross pattern over the filling, forming a braid.
Brush the pastry with heavy cream and top with the sliced almonds. Tuck them into the braid.
Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar and place the braids on 2 baking trays and transfer them to the freezer to chill while the oven heats.
Heat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C. (if your oven runs too hot, reduce the heat to 350 °F, 180 °C and bake a little bit longer)
Bake the braid on the center rack of the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Serve warm with Greek coffee.

Notes

Honey Instructions: Skip adding the granulated sugar topping. Once the pastry is finished baking, let it cool for 15 minutes and then drizzle honey on top. Sprinkle cinnamon and serve warm.

I make my ricotta. It’s so much better homemade and super easy. I’ve been looking for a good ricotta cake recipe for my husband. He loves them. Thank you for sharing this. It looks delicious.🌹
Do you use or avoid any type of milk? There are so many different cow’s milk now ( A2, etc) and I’m wondering which one makes the best cheese?
I think I need to try this recipe. It looks decadent in the best way!

That would be so good if you put slivered almonds all over the cream add a little bit of extra texture Yum
Oh my heaven. This DOES look dangerous. Thank you!
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I am gonna try to make these, but smaller if it's ok? Is there cooking time adjustment in making them smaller?
Yes, absolutely. You can make little turnovers and they will probably take 25 minutes in the oven :) Enjoy them, Tanya!! xxD
What is a good brand of ricotta cheese, I would like to make this recipe,
🙏❤️💙🙏👍👍
My filling came out to loose :( Used a good quality cheese.
How can I thicken it?
Oh no!! The ricotta must've been good but it sounds like it needed to be drained. Most ricotta is like that and should be set in a strainer over a bowl to drain overnight in the refrigerator. So sorry this happened but you can fix it by adding more cream cheese :) Hope that helps!!
The only change I would make is to use Mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. It has a nicer flavor
That would make be delicious!!
How do you know what good ricotta is?
It should be full-fat and usually popular brands like Poly-o and Sorento make good ricotta. They also make low-fat and that is not good. When you open the package it should be thick and creamy, not grainy. If it has a lot of liquid on top or if it is grainy then, set it into a strainer and over a bowl and let it drain overnight in the fridge. You will be surprised by how much liquid will be released. Hope that helps!!
you really needed to say at the start of the recipe that this was for two.
I’m so sorry I missed the part about the slivered almonds. Great minds think alike I guess.
Thanks
This looks amazing! Making it tomorrow! Efxaristo, Dimitra
Hope you like it!
Looks so yummy!😋
Thank you 😋
