This recipe is a must-try for fig lovers! The grilled figs are charred and smoky, while the ricotta is creamy and sweet. I served it with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and it was heavenly.

This recipe is a great starting point for grilled figs. I added some chopped walnuts and crumbled goat cheese to the ricotta for an extra layer of flavor.

Overall, this is a good recipe but it needs a few tweaks. I would recommend using ripe figs and cooking them for a few minutes longer.

The honey ricotta was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or adding some lemon zest to balance out the flavors.

I followed the recipe exactly and the figs were still undercooked. I had to put them back on the grill for a few more minutes.

Easy and delicious! I used fresh figs from my garden and they were perfect. The honey ricotta was a great addition.

I was skeptical about grilling figs, but this recipe proved me wrong. The figs were caramelized and juicy, and the ricotta added a creamy richness. Will definitely make again!

Grilled figs were a hit at our backyard party! The smokiness from the grill perfectly complemented the sweetness of the honey ricotta. Definitely a keeper recipe.
