Cheese puffs

Preparation:

Preparation: Place the fresh ricotta in a bowl and knead it for a long time with a fork. Then add the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper and transfer the mixture into a pastry syringe. Make a side cut in each puff and fill them, one at a time, with the ricotta mixture. Arrange the cream puffs in a baking dish greased with a knob of butter and put them in the oven (170 degrees) for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, heat the cream in a saucepan over very gentle heat. Mix in the truffle paste, then the grated Parmesan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, so that the sauce thickens slightly. After the indicated time, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the cream puffs with the prepared sauce. Let them rest for 5 minutes in the turned off oven, then serve. NOTE: cheese cream puffs are delicate and tasty appetizers, as well as very simple to prepare if you use ready-made cream puffs bought in pastry shops; as regards the cheese filling, it is advisable to pass the ricotta through a fine sieve before working it with a fork: in this way the cream will be free of lumps.
