What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 250 g full fat ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 thick slices sourdough bread
- 80 g fresh mixed berries
- 60 g honeycomb pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Whip the Ricotta
Add ricotta honey and vanilla extract to a bowl or food processor. Whip vigorously with a hand mixer or process for 90 seconds until the ricotta becomes ultra smooth light and creamy with a spreadable consistency.
Step 2: Toast the Sourdough
Toast sourdough slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crispy on the outside but still slightly soft in the center. The sturdy toast is essential to hold the weight of the toppings without becoming soggy.
Step 3: Spread Generously
Spoon a generous amount of whipped ricotta onto each toast slice and use the back of a spoon to swirl it into elegant peaks. Do not be shy with the amount as a thick layer is part of what makes this so visually stunning.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve
Arrange fresh berries across each toast and place a generous piece of honeycomb on top. Finish with a light drizzle of extra honey and serve immediately for the best texture contrast between crispy toast and creamy ricotta.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- honeycomb pieces → a generous drizzle of regular honey if honeycomb is unavailable
- sourdough bread → thick cut brioche for a richer sweeter base
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using low fat or watery ricotta that cannot whip up properly and results in a thin runny spread
- Adding toppings too far in advance which causes the toast to go soft and the berries to bleed into the ricotta
