Ingredients

  • 1 full container of fat free ricotta cheese about 1 4/5 cups
  • 1/2 cup of honey divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of Stevia
  • 1 tbs vanilla

For the Balsamic Mascerated Cherries

  • 2 cups of frozen cherries that are depitted you could use fresh ones, particularly since cherries are in season now, but it would be a pain in the butt to pit them all
  • 1/2 cup of good balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbs of honey
  • 2 tbs of Stevia
  • 1 tbs of mustard seeds

Instructions

  • Defrost the cherries.
  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, 1 tbs of honey, 1 tbs of mustard seeds and 2 tbs of Stevia. Pour the balsamic mixture over the cherries and cover them. Let them sit for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 375. Put a shallow bowl of water on the bottom rack.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, 1/4 cup of honey, Stevia, and vanilla until well combined. Pour mixture into a medium oven safe dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is starting to get solid.
  • After 15-20 minutes, pour the remaining honey on top. Return to the oven for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and springs back to the touch.
  • Let cool. Take a knife and gently run it along the sides of the dish and turn out onto a plate. Top with the balsamic cherries.
  • Enjoy for breakfast, brunch or dessert.
