November 10, 2021

This very simple dessert will have guests thinking they are at a fine dining affair!
 serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 fresh pear
• 1/4 cup Cinnamon spiced cocoa mix
• 2 tablespoons boiling water
• 1/2 cup ricotta
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
• 1 tablespoon roasted pecans

Directions:

1. Mix cocoa nibs and pecans together in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Add cinnamon cocoa mix and hot water to a small bow. Combine with a small whisk until sugar is dissolved. You may add more water or cocoa mix depending on how thick you want the sauce. Set aside.
3. Add ricotta and sugar to a small bowl. Mix with a hand mixer for about a minute.
4. Sugar needs to melt into the cheese. Add whipping cream one tablespoon at a time until combined. Turn up the mixer and beat for 30 seconds. The texture should be like yogurt but a little grainy from the cheese. Place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
5. Slice pear right before serving. We recommend a bosc pear but you can use anything you have on hand.
7. Get creative with your plating and let us know how much you love this dish!
