Ricotta Gelato Toast Recipes

CHOCOLATE RICOTTA TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla using a rubber spatula. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the slices of bread on both sides with the olive oil. Grill the bread until golden brown, toasted and crunchy on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Top each slice with a good amount of the ricotta mixture and spread evenly. Grate the chocolate over the top of the bread, fully coating each slice. Serve with a fork and knife.

RICOTTA TOAST WITH JAM

Steps:

• Cover the toast with a generous portion of Homemade Ricotta and top with the Berry Quick Jam.
• Heat the milk and cream in a medium pot over medium heat until just bubbling. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and salt. Wait until the milk begins to curdle, 3 to 5 minutes; do not stir again. Strain through cheesecloth and let sit for 1 hour over a colander to drain completely. Store in the refrigerator.
• Combine the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice and vanilla beans in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook until the syrup sticks to a metal spoon, about 20 minutes, stirring every now and then. Stir in the vinegar and remove from the heat. Pour into clean jars, close and bring to room temperature (or use an ice bath to speed this up). Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

ITALIAN FRUIT TOAST

Steps:

• Brush the ciabatta slices on both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides evenly with 1/4 cup of the sugar, gently rubbing it in.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sugared bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack to cool briefly.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with a rubber spatula. Divide the mixture among the toasts and spread evenly. Top with berries, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
