Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whole milk ricotta (the freshest you can get)
2 Tablespoon fresh mint (roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon olive oil (additional for baguette slices)
3 teaspoons honey
Generous pinch of sea salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Baguette (sliced, if using)

Steps:

  • Place the ricotta in a small mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment or beaters, whisk ricotta for 2 minutes until it's smooth and creamy; you may still see tiny bumps of ricotta, this is ok. Place the whipped ricotta in a serving bowl or spread on a plate.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the mint, parsley, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, and salt. Pour the herb and honey mixture on top of the whipped ricotta. Top with freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve with grilled baguette slices, crackers, or vegetables.

FRESH BERRIES & SWEET RICOTTA

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Homemade Ricotta (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or sliced, depending on size (see Cook's Note)
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh raspberries
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh blueberries
Fresh Raspberry Sauce (recipe follows)
Grated lemon zest, for serving
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
1 (6-ounce) package fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup (12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam, such as Tiptree (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon framboise liqueur

Steps:

  • Place the Homemade Ricotta in a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, honey, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for up to 2 hours. In another bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
  • When ready to serve, divide the berries among 6 bowls. With an ice cream scoop, place a large dollop of the ricotta in each bowl and drizzle with lots of the Fresh Raspberry Sauce. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
  • Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
  • Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.
  • Place the raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and the framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Pour into a container and chill. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one week.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ripe but firm peaches or nectarines (about 1 pound), quartered and peeled
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pint part-skim ricotta
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 honeydew melon, halved and cut into thick slices
1/2 pineapple, halved, cored, and cut into thick slices
1/2 baby watermelon, cut into thick slices
1 bunch green or muscat grapes
3 kiwifruits, peeled and sliced
8 fresh figs, halved
2 cups mixed berries, such as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries
Digestive Biscuits, for serving

Steps:

  • Poached Peaches: Combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until fruit is just tender, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on ripeness. Transfer peaches to a heatproof container with a slotted spoon; strain syrup over top. Let cool completely. Peaches in syrup can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 week. (Makes about 2 cups.)
  • Whipped Ricotta: Puree ricotta, vanilla, and maple syrup in a food processor or blender until creamy. Mixture can be refrigerated, covered, up to 5 days. (Makes 2 cups.)
  • Fruit Platter: Arrange all fresh fruits on a platter. Serve with poached peaches, whipped ricotta, and digestive biscuits.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and creamy texture, make sure the ricotta cheese is at room temperature before whipping it.
  • Use a whisk or electric hand mixer to whip the ricotta cheese until it is light and fluffy.
  • If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute another type of sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. Be careful not to add too much sweetener, or the ricotta will become too sweet.
  • Choose ripe, seasonal fruit for the best flavor. Berries, peaches, and melon are all great options.
  • If you want to add a little crunch to the dish, you can toast some nuts or granola and sprinkle them on top.

Conclusion:

Whipped ricotta with honey and summer fruit is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that will wow your guests.
