Hey everyone, it’s me, Dave, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, fig ricotta cake. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

The recipe didn't specify what type of figs, so my daughter chose the sweeter green figs over the darker ones. I quartered the larger ones and halved the smaller ones, then nestled them into the cake batter because it wasn't clear whether they went on top or had to be pushed in. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by almond extract.

There are many ways you can incorporate fresh figs into classic baked goods, like in our figgy walnut muffins or a savory fig and pistachio fruitcake. But Garten's combo of fresh fruit and creamy ricotta cheese is something you could also riff on with our classic ricotta toast or even in a ricotta-based cheesecake. I'm actually quite certain that you'll prefer ricotta over a traditional cheesecake, plus the figs and almonds on top are ridiculous! I do have to admit that while this ricotta cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, I do love this Croissant Bread Pudding with Champagne Zabaglione Recipe and this Sour Cream Bundt Cake Recipe with Caramel. Fresh Fig Crostata With Ricotta and Honey An ultimate trio of sweet honey, creamy ricotta, and fresh figs make this crostata tart the most satisfying snack ever.
