Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta (Printable)

Creamy ricotta meets sweet roasted strawberries on buttery toast for an elegant breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Roasted Strawberries

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
04 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Whipped Ricotta

05 - 1 cup ricotta cheese
06 - 2 tbsp heavy cream
07 - 1 tsp lemon zest
08 - 1 tsp honey
09 - Pinch of salt

→ Toast

10 - 4 slices sourdough or country bread
11 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

→ For Serving

12 - Fresh mint leaves
13 - Extra honey for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Place strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until strawberries are tender and syrupy.
02 - In a food processor or medium bowl, whip ricotta, cream, lemon zest, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
03 - Toast bread slices until golden. Optionally spread a bit of butter on each slice before toasting for richer flavor.
04 - Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta onto each toast. Spoon roasted strawberries and their juices over the top. Drizzle with extra honey and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm syrupy strawberries and cool creamy ricotta hits every single pleasure point at once
  • It looks restaurant fancy but comes together in under 40 minutes with almost zero active work
  • The roasted strawberries keep in your fridge for days and upgrade everything from yogurt to ice cream
02 -
  • The roasted strawberries need to cool for just a few minutes or they will melt the ricotta too fast and make your toast soggy
  • Whipping the ricotta too long can turn it grainy so check after a minute and stop when it looks smooth and airy
03 -
  • Pat your strawberries dry before roasting if they are especially wet from washing or they will steam instead of roast
  • Let the ricotta come to room temperature for 10 minutes before whipping for the fluffiest texture
