Ingredients to make the sweet pinsa with ricotta and pears
- 1 pinsa romana
- 3/4 cup ricotta (preferably sheep's milk, drained and very dry)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- to taste ground cinnamon
- 1 pear (medium Abate variety)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp liqueur (Strega, limoncello, sweet wine, etc…)
- to taste chocolate chips
- to taste chopped pistachios
Tools
- Oven rack oven
- Bowl
- Pan
Preparation
Buy a good-quality pre-baked pinsa, place it on the oven rack and sprinkle it with one level tablespoon of brown sugar. Return to a hot oven preheated to 392°F (200°C) for 5 minutes if fan-forced and for 7 minutes if conventional; the desired browning and crispness will be your guide.
Peel a pear, remove the core and cut it into cubes. Put it in a pan with the butter and half a tablespoon of brown sugar, sauté for two minutes over high heat until colored, then deglaze with a little liqueur or sweet wine. Remove from the heat.
Stir the dry, well-drained ricotta with half a tablespoon of brown sugar, add half of the pears, a pinch of cinnamon and some chocolate chips or shavings of dark chocolate.
Move the pinsa to a serving plate, top it with the ricotta cream you just prepared, arrange the remaining pears with their cooking juices on top, sprinkle with chopped pistachios for extra color and crunch and add chocolate chips to taste. Enjoy immediately, still hot and crunchy!
Storage and tips
The sweet pinsa with apples should be eaten immediately and while still hot, so I recommend preparing only the amount of pinsa you intend to consume.
