Cook's Notes

For an even faster dessert, broil sweetened banana, mango, or pear slices or halved pineapple by itself in an oven-proof dish. Top with ice cream, yogurt, or creme fraiche if desired. To broil fruit without ricotta, pat the sugar mixture into 1 pound of sliced fruit. Broil, rotating dish halfway through, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

    This had an unusual taste and texture which was not especially pleasant.

    I have to say that I will not be making this recipe again and if I do, I will be making some significant modifications. The nutmeg and the vanilla was overpowering. If I attempt this recipe again, I will substitute cinnamon for the nut and I will encorporate the vanilla into the ricotta. I would also add some granulated sugar to the ricotta to make it slightly sweeter. Definitely NOT a hit
