Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 250 grams mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a small baking dish or ramekin with a bit of oil or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Transfer the ricotta mixture to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the ricotta for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
While the ricotta is baking, prepare the glazed berries. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook the berries for 5–7 minutes, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves and the berries begin to release their juices. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Once the baked ricotta is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
To serve, spoon the glazed berries over the top of the baked ricotta. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
