60 minutes

Cherry pie with ricotta is a delicate and airy treat that combines the softness of Italian cheese with the juiciness of cherries. This dessert, inspired by European traditions, captivates with its balance of sweetness and light acidity, creating a harmony of flavors. Ricotta makes the pastry velvety, while cherries add a refreshing accent. The pie is perfect for morning coffee or tea time with family. Its versatile shape allows it to be made as individual muffins or in a classic version. It is especially good warm when the berries release their juice, adding moisture to the dough. The ease of preparation makes it a great choice for both a cozy home evening and a festive table.
