When Summer comes around, this is one of my favorite desserts. I’ve posted the recipe for the whipped ricotta below. As far as the salt goes, hear me out…I really love this salt from Jacobsen Salt Co and Masienda. You can read about it here. I also realize that it might not be everyone’s thing, and it’s definitely optional. You can email me for the cake and berry sauce recipes. These beautiful flowers are from The Chef’s Garden. Feel free to omit or use any edible flowers you can find. If you like Mezcal, I find that VIDA from Del Maguey balances the fruit sauce perfectly, and also works great with that chili worm salt you’re concerned about.
