Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to the skillet. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Cook the apples for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to caramelize.
Pour the dark rum over the apples, carefully flambe or cook for another 1-2 minutes to reduce the alcohol. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apples cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fluffy.
Divide the cooled caramelized apples into serving glasses or bowls.
Top the apples with a generous dollop of the ricotta cream mixture.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if using, and garnish with mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled version of the dessert.
