Ingredients
For the honey roasted plums
- 2 cups sliced plums about 3-4 plums, sliced 1/2 inch pieces (I like using 'blood plums' - they have red skin and red flesh)
- 3 tbsp liquid honey, divided
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
For the whipped ricotta
- 2 cups full fat ricotta cheese
- juice from half a lemon
- zest from half a lemon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Make the plums: Heat oven to 375F. Add sliced plums to a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet or baking dish along with 1 tbsp honey, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Stir together and then roast 15-20 minutes until tender. Drizzle over 1 tbsp more honey, mix and set in the fridge to cool.
- While the plums are cooling, make the whipped ricotta. In a food processor add the ricotta, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and olive oil. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Spread the whipped ricotta in a shallow bowl and place in the fridge until the plums have cooled.
- Once the plums have cooled (no longer warm to the touch), spoon them on the top of the ricotta. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of honey and then sprinkle over the chopped pecans and fresh thyme leaves.
