About this recipe
This dessert cup combines creamy ricotta, the warm aroma of cinnamon, and the sweetness of honey. Baking makes the pear soft, juicy, and more intensely flavored, a good match for the mild ricotta. Crushed plain crisp cookies add a simple crisp layer that contrasts with the pear's soft texture. Let the pear cool briefly before serving so it does not thin the cream but remains pleasantly aromatic.
Ingredients
150 g ricotta
1 pear
1 teaspoon honey
a pinch of cinnamon
2 tablespoons crushed plain crisp cookies
Steps
Preheat the oven to 190°C with top and bottom heat. Wash the pear, remove the stem and core, then cut the flesh into evenly sized dice or eighths. Toss with the cinnamon and half the honey, then spread in a small ovenproof dish, in a single layer if possible.
Bake the pear for 12–15 minutes. Test a piece with a fork: the fruit should be soft, juicy and easy to pierce, but still hold its shape. Remove the dish and let the pear cool slightly; very hot fruit will thin the ricotta.
Put the ricotta in a bowl and combine with the remaining honey. Mix and smooth with a spoon, breaking up larger lumps. Avoid prolonged beating, as the aim is to combine the ingredients, not to aerate them.
Crush the biscuits into small, noticeable pieces. Divide about half the crumbs between two dessert cups and lightly level the bases without packing them down firmly.
Spoon the ricotta over the crumbs, then add the slightly warm or cooled pear. Sprinkle with the remaining biscuits just before serving if you want them to stay crunchy. Serve immediately or briefly chill the assembled dessert.
