Your rating: None Average: 3.6 (9 votes)

Vanilla-infused ricotta cheese is the perfect foil for saucy poached figs.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This dessert was delicious! I love the sauce from the figs and Marsala wine. I gave it 4 stars because I used low-fat ricotta, which did not taste good, but I'm willing to bet it would be perfect with regular ricotta. "
