Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes plus chilling time
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup 1 % cottage cheese
2 eggs, 1 yolk only
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple extract
Pinch nutmeg
1 tablespoon whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons orange peel, grated
4 tablespoons Grapenuts
4 sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, or banana for topping if desired
In a deep bowl, combine first nine ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon of orange peel. Beat with a hand mixer or use food processor to blend quickly. Turn into a 9-inch quiche or pie dish, and microwave at 80 percent power for 8 minutes, rotating the dish once. Microwave on high for 2 minutes more. Cake is baked when a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Dust top with Grapenuts and reserved orange peel. Refrigerate for a few hours, or make this the day prior to serving. Before serving, top with sliced fruit or berries. Lemon juice and lemon rind may be substituted for the orange.
