Ricotta casserole with honey

4 servings

50 minutes

Ricotta and honey casserole is a delicate, airy treat from Mediterranean cuisine, where simplicity and rich flavors of natural ingredients are valued. The dish's roots can be found in traditional Italian cooking, where ricotta is used to make desserts, giving them a soft texture and creamy taste. Honey adds natural sweetness, while cinnamon and lemon zest provide a refined aromatic note. The lightness of this dessert makes it an ideal complement to morning coffee or an evening glass of sweet wine.
