I love creating a dessert that ticks all the right boxes. Simple in creation and nature but is wickedly delicious. This Healthy Whipped Ricotta Gluten Free Dessert, sounds tricky, but honestly it is one of the easiest sweeter dishes you can make. So it will taste wicked and make you look like a pro.
I was asked to put on a BBQ inspired menu that you could create in your own apartment. Essentially no grill, but still get the same flavors. This dessert was a serious hit and was inspired by my latest love for whipped ricotta, and its just so simple to do!!! When roast and grilling the peaches you release more moisture and maximize on natural sweetness. I created this dish for a “how to create a BBQ inside your apartment dinner” and it was such a hit I wanted you all to have it!
