Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 oz. brocciu
  • 5 egg
  • 1 cup sugar (set aside 1 tablespoon for the end of the recipe)
  • lemon zest of 2 large organic lemons
  • 1 tablespoon butter for the mold, unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons myrtle liquor (mirto) or brandy

Instructions

  1. Preheat the convection oven to 320F/160C.
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes.
  3. Crush the brocciu with a fork and add the zest of the lemons and the brandy.
  4. Mix both preparations and whisk again for 10 seconds. The result should not be perfectly smooth and some small lumps may still be present.
  5. Butter a springform pan and pour in the mixture. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The fiadone is cooked when the top begins to brown, and the preparation is just slightly wobbly.
  6. As soon as it is out of the oven, sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on the top of the fiadone.
  7. Once the fiadone has cooled, keep it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before unmolding.
  8. Serve cold.
