Bake With Bizzy - Baked Ricotta with Cherry Topping

If you have read the previous post about Claire Robinson and her Pasta Carbonara, you already know how I came to making this recipe.  I served this as dessert tonight after the pasta.  It says that this tastes like a cheesecake but it is low fat and I agree with that statement.  This was light and delicious and I would gladly make it to serve as a cheesecake.  We enjoyed it.  I am thinking of different toppings to make for it.  The cherries worked well but blueberries or peaches sound great, as well.

This is a QED (quick, easy, delicious) recipe.  It took no time to put together the cheese part and I let the cherries cook, while I was making dinner, only checking on it and mixing it, occasionally.

Baked Fresh Ricotta with Stewed Cherries
(adapted from Claire Robinson - 
Five Ingredient Fix)

I
ngredients :


1 1/2 cups ricotta
1 large egg
3 tablespoons honey, divided
zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
6 ounces dark and sweet cherries,

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degreesF.

Put ricotta in a bowl with egg, 1 tablespoon of honey, and half the lemon zest and stir until well combined.

Transfer to a shallow baking dish and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven until puffed and beginning to brown, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Put the cherries, lemon juice, remaining zest and 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened and the cherries are broken down, about 15 minutes.

Serve in a dessert bowl.

  1. I love ricotta and cherries! I don't often take the time to bake an individual dessert so I'll just mix up some ricotta, stevia and cacao powder and then add in frozen cherries and pop it all in the freezer for a nice quick refreshing dessert! BUT...I'll definitely be trying this one!
