Cinnamon Grilled Nectarines With Whipped Ricotta And Toasted Walnuts
When crafting desserts, my foundation lies in two essential elements: the luscious decadence of chocolate or the vibrant freshness of fruit. Since we have beautiful seasonal stone fruit available, for this dessert I wanted to start with juicy nectarines.

Infusing a touch of wholesomeness, I make sure these star ingredients not only taste amazing but also bring a dash of vitality to the table. And because I’m all about that perfect blend of indulgence and nutrition, walnuts join the party for that added crunch and goodness.

Tips for this recipe
- You want your nectarines to be on the harder side of ripe, still edible but not very soft.
- You can use peaches for this recipe too, or a combo of both.
- Save time by making the whipped ricotta in advance and storing in the fridge.
