Ricotta stuffed ASIAN PEARS
Ricotta stuffed ASIAN PEARS.
YUM is about all I can say about this divine creation....not only is this a healthy, gluten free, low sugar, super de-lish dessert option....but it's something I would definitely serve as a side at brunch. Light in flavor, the creamy, delicately flavored ricotta tastes sensational with the the crisp, mouth watering bite of an asian pear....a delectable combination! They really taste as great as they look.

VEGAN NOTES
- Instead of the ricotta, try using a tofu cream cheese or grind a 1/4 cup of soaked cashews until they are nice and creamy (this version MAY require 1/2 teaspoon more of sweetener).
GLUTEN FREE NOTES
- Totally gluten free!
YOGIC COOKING NOTES
- It's best not to make a habit of combining dairy with fruit. Therefore it might be best to try the soaked cashews version.
