2pearspeeled, Blade A
6black mission figshalved
1/2cupricotta cheese*
1/3tspvanilla extract
1tbsphoney
1/2cupwalnuts
more honey to drizzle
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Prepare two baking dishes lined with parchment paper. In one dish, place your figs. Dab the sliced sides lightly with honey, using your fingers. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
In the other dish, place your walnuts. Drizze with honey and mix with your fingers to coat the walnuts evenly. Three minutes before the figs are done, add in the walnuts. Remove both from the oven when done and remove from parchment paper immediately and set aside on a plate or in a bowl.
While your nuts and figs are baking, pour the ricotta cheese into a food processor and pulse until whipped. Place in a bowl and add in the vanilla extract and honey. Taste and add more vanilla/honey to your preference.
Time to assemble the dessert! Arrange your pear ribbons on a plate as the base for this dessert. Create a circle using the figs and walnuts (save a few.) Top with sweet ricotta and remaining walnuts and figs.

*I used whole milk ricotta but feel free to use part-skim to save about 3 grams of fat and 22 calories per serving.
