Step 3

Place egg whites, sugar, salt in a medium heatproof mixing bowl (metal) and place bowl on top of a pot of simmering water.

Remove bowl from heat and beat with an electric mixer on high, until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold egg white mixture into the bowl with ricotta until well combined.

Step 7
