Ricotta Plum Tartlets
During plum season, there are so many possibilities to use up these fruity balls of goodness. These ricotta plum tarts are a lovely Italian twist on the classic tart. You can serve them with vanilla ice cream or just on their own straight out of the oven. They store well for up to three days in the fridge.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "Plums are my favourite fruit! The sweetness of the plums and the creaminess of the ricotta work together to make the perfect tartlet. We served it with ice cream and cream. We'll definitely have it again!" - Sharree
