Gluten-free flourless autumn snack: a soft little cake made with pumpkin and ricotta, sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with cinnamon. Baked in an air fryer in a 12 cm mold.
Preheat the air fryer to 160°C.
In a bowl, mash the cooked pumpkin until you obtain a compact puree.
Combine the ricotta with the pumpkin puree and mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Add the egg, maple syrup, and cinnamon (to taste) and blend well.
Incorporate the sifted cornstarch and mix until you get a smooth batter.
Pour the mixture into a 12 cm mold, buttered or lined if necessary.
Cook in the air fryer at 160°C for about 25 minutes, checking the doneness with a toothpick: it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool before removing from the mold and serving.
