last updated on October 30, 2026

Let me introduce you to the fluffiest, yummiest pancakes you’ll ever have: Ricotta Pancakes with Raspberry Orange Curd! I cannot even tell you how delicious these are — you just have to try them yourself!

I am a big fan of breakfast. If I could only eat one type of meal for the rest of my life I would choose breakfast! It is just too good. And pancakes are one of my favorite breakfast foods! One of my favorites is these apple pie pancakes. And my current ultimate favorite is these ricotta pancakes! Adding ricotta to your pancakes makes them light and fluffy. Ricotta has such a mild flavor so you don’t taste a cheesy taste in the pancakes, and you’re left with a delicious, soft pancake good enough to feed your biggest critics!

Let’s not forget about the raspberry orange curd that goes on top of these pancakes! The curd takes 15 minutes to make and completely upgrades your entire breakfast experience. Raspberry oranges are a variety of blood oranges that are SO SWEET and have a slight raspberry taste! Citrus season is in full swing and I am addicted to these oranges! I got mine at Sprouts because they always have fresh unique produce like these oranges.

I cannot wait for you to try these ricotta pancakes with raspberry orange curd. If you do and enjoy them, please share a picture and tag me (@thepalatablelife) so I can see!
