Ricotta Mousse

Almond Crumble

Slow-cooked Pears

Method

Ricotta Mousse

1

Prepare the Ricotta Mousse

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until smooth and creamy.

2

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated.

3

Chill the Mousse

Transfer the mousse to serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Almond Crumble

4

Prepare the Almond Crumble

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

5

Bake the Crumble

Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

Slow-cooked Pears

6

Cook the Pears

In a saucepan, combine the chopped pears, water, cinnamon stick, star anise, vanilla pod, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

7

Simmer the Pears

Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the pears cook slowly for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and infused with the spices.

8

Cool and Serve

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pears cool slightly before serving with the ricotta mousse and almond crumble.
