Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh ripe red cherries, stemmed (1-1 1/4 lbs)
- 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta
- 4 teaspoons milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 crushed amaretti cookies, or for GF substitute 2 tablespoons sliced and crushed toasted almonds
- 2-4 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur (optional)
- 2 teaspoons cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whack the cherries with the flat side of a knife till they flatten, then discard the pits - or, pit the cherries using a pitting tool and slice them in half.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, milk, sugar and almond extract.
- If not using the amaretto, proceed with the recipe. If using the amaretto, pour 2-4 tbsp over the cherries and stir to coat (use as much as you like according to taste).
- Divide the cherries between 4 small dessert dishes. Spoon a portion of ricotta over the top of each cherry cup.
- Sprinkle each portion of ricotta with a crushed amaretto cookie...
- Or, to keep it gluten free, sprinkle with sliced and crushed toasted almonds.
- Top each bowl off with 1/2 tsp of cacao nibs or chocolate chips.
- Serve.
