Ricotta is a soft, unripened white cheese made from whey left over from other cheeses. It has a mild, milky and slightly sweet taste. It is an excellent ingredient of many dishes, both desserts and dry dishes.

Making this dessert is very easy and has the advantage that the cream cheese and syrup can be prepared well in advance and stored in the fridge.

Figs are not available all year round, so we can safely replace them with other fruits.
