- 1.41 oz sugar
- 5.64 oz puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar

Steps
Add the egg yolks and sugar to the ricotta and beat until it becomes a smooth cream. Peel the fruit, remove the core and stem, chop it, and add it to the ricotta. Cut 12 discs of 3 inches from the puff pastry.
Divide the filling evenly on the pastry discs, then pinch up the edges to form a sort of basket. Bake the fruit and ricotta baskets at 356°F for 20 minutes.
About Fresh Fruit
The most colorful and tasty, sweet and fragrant fruit to enjoy for breakfast and start the day right is certainly summer fruit. But many fruits decorate our tables throughout the year. By nature, fruit is rather sour and sometimes watery, but using it in cooking and in dessert preparation often makes desserts like my basket enriched with ricotta and fresh fruit more pleasant.
