This is my favorite type of dessert, delicious, creamy, with fruit, so good after any meal or even be delicious for breakfast.
What did I love figs but I imagine that would also delicious with strawberries or raspberries.
I say this because in the Northern Hemisphere (lucky you) are in the lovely strawberry season.
This recipe is adapted from Michele Guiliano who has written some interesting books "French Woman Do not fat" she has healthy and delicious recipes and really enjoy food and life, Other recipe of her in my blog : Pain baguette
Ingredients (4 serves)
4 tablespoon of honey
4 pieces of orangestrips
8 fresh figs
1 tablespoon of grated orange peel
1 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
2 tablespoon of heavy cream
Method
1. In a medium saucepan, mix 1 / 2 cup water with honey, add the orange strips and boil this mixture for two minutes over medium heat, stirring until honey dissolves.
Simmer the mixture and leave for about 5 minutes until the syrup has reduced and thickened.
2.Remove from fire. Add the figs gently and cover them with the honey syrup.
3. Beat slightly with an tablespoon of cream and divide into bowls or cups, place two figs over the ricotta cream- and cover with syrup.
You can garnish with mint leaves.
EN ESPAÑOL
Este es mi tipo de postre favoritos, suave, cremoso y con frutas.
Delicioso despues de comidas o perfecto para el desayuno.
Si no tienen higos (por la época) pienso que debe quedar delicioso con frambuesas o frutillas.
Esta receta está adaptada de un libro de Mirielle Guiliano que es una francesa que sabe comer, cuidarse y gozar la vida.
De ella tambien es una receta de Pain baguette que ya publiqué.
Me gusta como es Mireille sus recetas son sencillas y deliciosas.

What an ideal dessert using figs Gloria! We don't have the fresh figs yet but when they ripen, I will definitely make this. It's simply delightful!!!
