Honey Ricotta Toast Dessert
Thick slices of bread are toasted until golden, then spread with creamy ricotta and finished with a generous drizzle of honey. Ready in under 15 minutes, this simple dessert balances the crunch of the toast against the cool, lightly sweet topping.
Equipment
- Bread knife
- Toaster
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 4 slices artisan bread thickly-sliced
For the Topping:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese fresh and creamy
- 2 tbsp honey preferably wildflower honey
- 1 tsp lemon zest freshly grated
- ¼ cup fresh berries such as blueberries or raspberries
- 1 tbsp pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Using a bread knife, slice the artisan bread into thick slices. Toast them until they are golden and crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
- Mix the Ricotta: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with lemon zest. Using a spatula, mix until creamy and smooth.
- Assemble the Toast: Generously spread the ricotta mixture over each toasted bread slice. Drizzle honey over the top, ensuring even coverage.
- Garnish: Top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for an added crunch and color.
Notes
Lori’s Tips:
- For a nut-free option, omit the pistachios or replace them with sunflower seeds.
- For a vegan version, use almond ricotta and maple syrup instead of honey.
