Description

Juicy stone fruits and berries roasted with warming spices, served atop whipped sweet ricotta and sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts — a vibrant summer dessert or breakfast.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss peach slices, blackberries, and raspberries with maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
  3. Spread the fruit mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15–20 minutes until fruits are tender and edges caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whip together ricotta, powdered sugar (or honey), and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
  5. To serve, spread a generous layer of sweet ricotta onto a plate.
  6. Spoon warm roasted fruits over the ricotta and drizzle with juices from the tray.
  7. Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts on top and serve immediately.

  • Ricotta mixture can be made ahead and chilled.
  • Substitute hazelnuts with almonds or pistachios if desired.
