From Breakfast to Dessert.....Ricotta with Figs and Ricotta with Lavender.....

 



Here I am again.....after one tough winter storm (we were with -35C!!!....in November!!), and a wind storm like I have not seen before.....here I am again!

I don't know what happened, but November was very busy.....more than ever.....

In the supermarket, I was reviewing a book with a baked ricotta and honey for breakfast. As soon as I arrived home, I made it with caramelized figs, honey and pistachio.....it was delicious, but too dry for us.

 
 
 

Baked Ricotta 

1 cup of ricotta
1 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
Butter
Figs
Pistachio
Honey

Mix the ricotta with the sugar. Grease with butter ramekins, and distribute the ricotta. Place them in a preheated oven 350F until golden brown (20 minutes).

Slice the figs, place them in parchment paper. Sprinkle with sugar, and place them in the oven at the same time than the ricotta. Leave it in the oven until they are cooked, and sugar is bubbling.

Plating. When the ricotta is warm, place it over a plate, decorate it with figs, pistachio, and serve it with honey....ENJOY!

However, I like the idea. For that reason, I made it again.....with lavender, cream, and egg....It was a fantastic dessert.....ENJOY!!

 
 


Baked Ricotta with Lavender

1 cup of ricotta
1 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of lavender flowers
Butter
Sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons of cream (I used 35%)
Lavender syrup
Pistachio


Mix the ricotta with the eggs and cream. In a grinder (I use electric coffee grinder exclusively for sweets and nuts), grind the sugar and lavender flowers until they are fine. Mix it with the ricotta. Grease with butter the ramekins, sprinkle some sugar, and distribute the ricotta mix. Place them in a preheated oven 350F until golden brown (20-30 minutes).

Plating. When the ricotta is cold, place it over a plate, decorate it with  pistachio, and serve it with lavender syrup....ENJOY!
