Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Fresh fruit, for serving

Method

  • Preheat the broiler. In a small saucepan, warm the maple syrup with the vanilla bean scrapings; let cool slightly. In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the syrup. Whisk in the egg yolks until blended. Spread the ricotta in 4 shallow 5-inch gratin dishes and broil 6 inches from the heat, rotating the dishes as necessary to glaze the ricotta evenly. Serve with fresh fruit.
  • Wine Recommendation: Go for a light, fruity, not-too-sweet Muscat-based wine, such as the 1998 Vietti Moscato Cascinetta or the 1997 Robert Mondavi Moscato d'Oro.
