Pro Tips
Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.

If the ricotta is too thick, mix in a little milk to achieve the desired consistency.
If the peaches are not sweet enough, drizzle additional honey on top.

Add sliced almonds or walnuts for a nutty contrast.
Try swapping peaches for nectarines or apricots.
Healthy Alternatives
Swap out ricotta for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
