Ricotta and berry envelopes
8 servings
60 minutes
Ricotta and berry-filled envelopes are a refined treat embodying the delicacy of European cuisine. Their origins can be linked to traditional French and Italian desserts, where airy dough combines juicy fruits and soft cheese. This recipe uses phyllo for a crispy texture, while ricotta adds creamy tenderness. Cherries and plums introduce sweet-sour notes that perfectly complement the softness of the cheese. After baking, the dough becomes golden and crispy while the filling retains its juiciness. These envelopes are a wonderful choice for morning tea or a light dessert after dinner. They are served slightly cooled and dusted with powdered sugar, making them even more exquisite. The simplicity of preparation and harmony of flavors make them an ideal treat for those who appreciate refined and balanced sweetness.
