Ingredients
    Whipped Ricotta
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    • Blackberry Toast
  • 6 ounces blackberries, halved

  • pinch of sea salt
  • 4 slices crusty bread
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

  • Honey (hot honey or regular), for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
Instructions
    Whip the Ricotta
  1. 1

    Add the ricotta, whipping cream, lemon juice, and salt to a medium mixing bowl.  Whip the ingredients vigorously with a whisk for 2 minutes or by using an electric hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

    2. Dress the Blackberries

    In a separate mixing bowl, add the halved blackberries, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the blackberries in the vinegar and set aside.

    3. Assemble the Toast
  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil in a medium pan that’s been preheated over medium low heat.

    Toast the bread in the frying pan until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes a side, working in batches if necessary. Remove from heat and sprinkle with flaky salt right away.

    Spoon the whipped ricotta over the top of each piece of toasted bread and spread from crust to crust. Arrange the balsamic blackberries over the top. Drizzle with honey and garnish with sliced, fresh basil.
