What is ricotta?

The word ricotta means refined! It is derived from Italy and a very popular cheese there and it is one of the oldest cheese. Ricotta cheese has a natural sweetness with a light and creamy texture and is so flavorful in many different dishes. Ricotta has a natural sweetness to it.

It is very popular in savory dishes like pizza or pasta and ofcourse in desserts like cannoli or cheesecake.

Flat Bread or Toast?

• Flat bread: Now, flatbread is very easy to make but if you want a more convenient way it’s best to purchase flatbread from the store. Although, I have a very easy flat bread recipe that you can make in no time.

• Toast: Toast is a great option! Super delicious and it is actually really popular when enjoyed with ricotta and fig or any fruit you like.

Whipped Ricotta Cheese

Whipped ricotta cheese is easy to make. All I did was place ricotta cheese in a small bowl, added honey to sweeten and whipped using a spoon as you can see in the video below. You can however sweeten ricotta with maple syrup, sugar free sweetener or cane sugar. Ricotta cheese can go a long way since it makes a terrific addition to so many sweet treats like my avocado smoothie recipe that you must check out!

Fruit Toppings

Mango: I added mango since I LOVE this fruit, I LOVE fruit in general but I am sure many can agree that mango is such a tasty sweet fruit that is hard to resist. I like slicing mango into this strip over Fruit & Ricotta Flatbread. Meshes so well with ricotta.

Strawberries: Strawberries are a great addition since they are sweet and subtle

Blackberries: Totally optional but since they are in season I decided to add blackberries. They weren’t sweet so the added sweetness of honey was just perfect.

Figs: It is all about figs! Figs and ricotta cheese over toast is very popular. I really enjoy figs when they are in season so I had to include them in my fruit pizza.

Variations

Avocado: Let me tell you something, I almost regret not including avocados but I can always make a special flatbread pizza next time I make a homemade flatbread pizza. Imagine bread, avocado and ricotta cheese? PERFECTION!
