Pear baked with ricotta is an elegant Italian dessert that combines the tenderness of fruit, the creamy texture of cheese, and the crunch of nuts. Italy is known for its simple yet exquisite dishes, and this recipe is a bright example of that. The baked pear becomes soft and almost caramel-like, while the ricotta adds velvety tenderness. Honey brings sweetness and cinnamon adds a warm aroma. This treat is perfect as a finishing touch to dinner or paired with a cup of aromatic coffee. Easy to prepare yet impressive in taste, this dessert is suitable for a romantic evening, family dinner, or cozy tea time. Enjoy!
