Warm pear with cinnamon ricotta is a simple yet delicious dessert that combines the natural sweetness of pear with the creamy texture of ricotta cheese, accented by the warm spice of cinnamon. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a quick treat or a classy finale to any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the pear thoroughly under running water.
- Slice the pear in half lengthwise and remove the core and seeds using a spoon or a melon baller.
- Optionally, you can peel the pear if desired, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Preheat a small non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Place the pear halves cut-side down in the skillet.
- Cook the pear halves for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and get a bit of caramelized color. You can gently press them down with a spatula for even cooking.
- Flip the pear halves and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until they are tender but not mushy. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
- While the pear is cooking, in a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and ground cinnamon.
- Mix well until the cinnamon is fully incorporated into the ricotta cheese, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Once the pear halves are nicely warm and tender, remove them from the skillet and place them on serving plates, cut-side up.
- Spoon the cinnamon ricotta mixture evenly onto the warm pear halves. You can spread it over the top or serve it as a dollop in the center.
- Serve immediately while the pear is still warm for the best flavor combination.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or a handful of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe but firm pear to ensure it holds its shape during cooking.
- For a smoother ricotta mixture, consider blending the ricotta with a splash of milk or cream.
- You can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture.
- Cook the pear until it is just tender; overcooking can make it mushy.
- Feel free to experiment with additional spices like nutmeg or ginger for a different flavor profile.
This warm pear with cinnamon ricotta recipe is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a delightful and elegant dessert option. It's quick to prepare and can easily be adjusted to suit your taste preferences. Serve it warm for a cozy treat that's sure to impress.
