This simple yet elegant dish is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a dinner party or just looking for a special treat.

Ingredients:

1 cup blueberries
150g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Blueberries:
- Place the 1 cup of blueberries and 1 tablespoon of water into a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the blueberries, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down and release their juices, creating a saucy consistency. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Mix well until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the Pots:
- Divide the ricotta mixture evenly among 4 small serving pots or bowls.
- Spoon the cooled blueberry sauce over the ricotta mixture in each pot, making sure to evenly distribute the berries and sauce.
4. Caramelisation:
- If you wish to caramelise the top, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each blueberry and ricotta pot.
- Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelise the sugar until it forms a crisp layer, similar to a crème brûlée. If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can place the pots under a broiler for a minute or two, watching closely to prevent burning.
5. Serving:
- Allow the pots to cool slightly if caramelising with a broiler, then serve immediately.
- Enjoy your Caramelised Ricotta and Blueberry Pots as a delightful dessert or a special treat!
6. Optional Garnish:
- For an added touch, garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a mint leaf on top before serving.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

- Be careful not to overcook the caramelised sugar, as it can quickly burn and become bitter.

- You can substitute the ricotta cheese with mascarpone or cream cheese for a different flavor profile.

- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the finished pots with a sprig of fresh mint or a dusting of powdered sugar.

- Chill the pots in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Caramelised ricotta and blueberry pots are a wonderful way to end a meal, offering a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and tart flavors. This easy-to-make dessert is both delicious and visually appealing, making it an excellent choice for any occasion. Enjoy this delectable treat with friends and family, and savor the delightful combination of caramelised ricotta and fresh blueberries.
